    Jarrod Fletcher? What a joke - Billy Joe Saunders stopped him in 2!

    Another "Scott Quigg-esqe World Champion"

    Based on previous performances against Sturm / Martinez yes he does, based on the performance in his last fight definately not!

    The WBA are a joke with their super champions, regular champions, unified champions and interim champions, why can't they just have 1 world champion?

    Lets have it right in a justice sport Martin Murray would be a undefeated and undisputed middleweight champion. However with today's watered down version of the world title this title isn't even one of them. This is a WBA "regular" bauble and its not a genuine world title. Don't get me wrong it will eventually get him a shot at GGG for the "super" title and a 25% cut of the purse, but that's all its worth.

    Heard somewhere he turned down a shot at GGG for the WBA 'super' title. I had him losing very narrowly to Sergio martinez.

    Beat Martinez so I don't really care if he fancies an absolute nobody.

    After going to the lions den numerous times and not getting justice.. He deserves to fight a nobody for a title.
