    Murray is pretty much on the slide. Doubt the was ever much in love with the game and I'd say the GGG fight was his last hurrah. Doubt he'll achieve much frim here on.

    Big fan of Murray, glad he has signed with Hearn and will be getting some paydays and exposure, he has gone under the radar at times.

    Thought he was good aagainst Golovkin in a ridiculously small ring. Showed massive heart and his interviews after were especially endearing.

    Bit disrespectful. Murray is a proper warrior and would give anyone a tough night. I reckon he has a good chance of beating Callum Smith if that fight ever happens.

    Martin would have smashed Macklin with ease.....lucky they didn't meet.

    fodder was pretty harsh actually...what i mean is he is probably on the slide and moving weights so personally i dont see him winning a title but will be a very decent challenger...perfect on a PPV card;)

    Shame he didn't sign with Matchroom earlier, would have probably been world champ by now.

    But you still have high hopes for no hoper Macklin ?

    Murray lost to Golovkin, he didn't get starched by some no name he was expected to beat, yet his career is in tatters ?

    Do you lay in bed at night thinking about Quigg and Murray ?

    Sometimes its hard to work out whether you're trolling or just bitter.

    Fcukin embarrassing to be quite honest.

    No need to be unpleasant.
    I just feel Murray benefitted from being a physical freak ie through luck rather than boxing talent really. I always doubted he had much interest in boxing, and I really can't see him achieving anything from now on.

    Can't understand why people think he's great.

    He'll never beat Golovkin, and he wouldn't have the power or size to make waves at 168, but he's certainly capable of giving the rest at 160 a hard nights work, and winning a belt.

    I'm not trying to be unpleasant either, just find your constant criticism of British fighters quite offensive.

    The thing I like about Murray I have no doubt he would fight anyone.

    When many look to take a certain route avoiding fighters he is the polar opposite and many on here that critic the fighters that duck a challenge should recognize that with Murray.
