Hatten was qouted in on ESPN.UK as saying the Murray fight can wait, he has so many other options.... (can't post links, still a noob) Everybody is ducking this beast!
Murray = Brit = Glass jaw .. why should he risk it? I think, Golovkin will fight before November against Sergio Mora, knock out this wannabe and in November on HBO we will see him against Andy Lee. 2014 will be GGG's year, because Quillin or Martinez can not duck him anymore.
F bad news You can't become a powerhouse in this game without top fighters willing to fight you. Gena's image shoots him in his feet.
I hope Martin Murray tracks you down and let's you have a flush shot at his chin Then when he has laughed at your pathetic excuse for a limp wristed attempt at a punch he smashes up your stupid face
Murray doesn't have to fight GGG. Why the F would he fight him Murray should have a rematch vs Martinez because he got robbed.
I am a Cruiser stepping up into HW .. I don't think, Murray would risk his health for you. My chin is ok I guess, I am not from the UK.
Man GGG is just a average fighter with no defense. You guys are so in love with him you can't see he has lots of flaws. You will see soon enough when he gets exposed. GGG can't compete with the best because as we seen in his fight with Ouma he is to easy to hit. His chin maybe ok but no way his skin is going to hold up.
When is 'soon enough'? - You actually gonna name the fighter at 160 or even 168 who beats him, or just keep on saying the same thing 'til he's past prime and finally gets 'exposed' 6, 8 or 10 years down the line? Who beats the defenseless tissue-skinned hypejob that is Gennady Golovkin? 160 is his division, but let's say 168 as well - honestly (well I guess that's up to you) who do you see beating him? Or is it that you simply dislike the hyperbole around Golovkin and have been provoked by some of the more excessive claims from GGG fans into a reflexive opposition?
I don't blame Murray for waiting on it for a minute because: A) should Barker beat Geale he will have a big title fight in England with him that would likely net Murray more money than would a GGG fight B) a "tune up" fight while waiting for Sergio to recover is acceptable; after all Sergio is THE man at MW and that rematch is completely warranted
I agree with you GGG is very good and I think he will do well but he would have a fight on his hands with Ward. Ward is very good, he is smart and no one will walk all over him. GGG may be able to take him but not an easy fight for either guy. I think he should stay at 160 for a while and clean house because you are right at 160 he is top dog or will be anyways.
I'd agree with you if he was 25 but the guy's 31 and I think he should be looking to make some money...especially since the biggest money fight at 160 could disappear if Sergio retires or gets hurt again.
Besides a healthy Sergio, the only MW with a realistic chance of beating GGG is Jr...if he ever fights at 160 again. Quillen can hurt him but I don't think GGG would ever allow him to get comfortable enough to open up offensively.
