    Eubank Jr would beat Murray.

    Murray had a case in both Felix Sturm & Sergio Martinez but let’s not forget both were very small Middleweights.

    Murray lost to Abraham in 2015, around the same period of time Paul Smith was robbed against AA… Eubank fought Abraham within around 18 months of that and had no bother whatsoever.

    Also, watch that fight Eubank had with BJS back. I was at the arena that night and a lot of people there had no clue who was going to end up getting there hand raised at the end. Watch it back and it’s a hell of a lot closer than what many people seem to remember.

    BJS won the early rounds and probably did just enough to win, but Eubank had figured him out albeit a bit too late and easily won the latter rounds. If they had of rematched straight away I would have backed Eubank.
    As for the poll question, I would back Eubank jnr on points in a close match.

    Going slightly against the grain.. I think Eubank might nick it.
    Murray was happy to tuck up under the guard and wasn't a huge puncher.. Eubank might be able to outwork that kinda of style.
    Styles make fights and all that.

    I’d make Murray a slight favourite but he’s getting a bit overrated by some of these comments, it would be a good competitive close fight. Murray points

    I wouldn't say Eubank figured him out at all. Saunders famous conditioning kicked in. He had Eubank bamboozled for the first 6 but couldn't keep it up
