Murray vs Khan

and Limond beat Khan, so did Prescott.

 

Yeah more glass in his chin than a chandelier, but he is facing an ATG, well see how far Murray gets.

 

But he didn't did he? Thats like me saying Limmond beat Khan, or Khan should of been stopped against Craig Watson in the amateurs? I'm not anti Khan... I say this time and time again. He's an excellent fighter but he is not as far ahead of the pack as you think. Murray has the style and power to beat Khan. Khan has the handspeed and class to beat Murray. Thaxton has the punch and experiance to beat Khan, Khan has the veratility and youth to outclass Thaxton. The problem is your mans chin gives anyone decent a punches chance againt him, when you couple the punchers chance with other attributes such as intelligent pressure, or experiance and punch picking the probability of Khan getting beaten again becomes much more likely. That is a fact and one that you as a self proclaimed 'boxing guru' should understand.

 

Of course Khan will get beat again, but his skill set will take him further than Murray.

 

I doubt that. You can have all the skills in the world, you WILL get hit at some point by good fighters.

Both are domestic/European level at best.

 

Define skillset

 

Speed, Power, Accuracy.

 

No his matchmaking may take him further. But head to head theres little difference.

 

What about defence, footwork, timing?

 

Khan is better in those areas aswell, Murray is a brawler.

 

Neither is going further, I'd put the house on it. Khan might get bigger fights because he's got the financial clout, but he will come up horribly short. He'll be KO'd brutally at world class, Murray will be outboxed easily and stopped.

 

Prescott is also a brawler, styles make fights.

 

Hatton does what Murray does, except 1000 times better.

 

Murray is not even a good brawler when the other fighter can has a bit of power.

 

Do you really think Khan has better accuracy, defence, timing and even powerthan Murray?

Khan has excellent handspeed and just lets his hands go but his punches aren't accurate or well timed. Murray also has a much better variety of punches. Khan doesn't throw many bodyshots, uppercuts and even hooks. All of his punches are straight.

I'm not saying Murray will be world class but he has the 'tools' to expose Khan's weaknesses. If Khan fights Murray he'll have to keep him on the end of his jab for 12 rounds. Khan has yet to score a clean KO and most of his stoppages come from him overwhelming his opponents with his handspeed. If Murray is careful in the first two or three rounds and adjusts to Khan's speed then Khan's in trouble. Murray will start breaking him down and stop him in the second half of the fight. If Murray starts like a madman then Khan will pepper him with shots and stop him.
