    I believe Murray would have to much heart and fight for mitchell. I dont get why people think that mitchell would beat him

    Much more skillful, 10 x better than anyone Murray's ever faced, better punch, better footwork, better jab.

    Despite his big f'up the last time round, Mitchell is a very talented fighter. Far more talented than Murray. But I admit though, if not focused, Mitchell is there for the taking by a hungry Murray.

    ... and yet when he had his big chance he royally fell on his erse.

    Murray is unbeaten and looking more solid everytime I watch him.

    Well that's basically the way proper way of saying "I'm not going to 140 and fighting Ortiz in the hope of getting a fight against Khan", which is a good move. Stick at 135 and take more winnable fights there.

    Mate, I wouldn't be complaining if this match-up was made.

    You could tell from the second Ed Robinson asked Murray about Ortiz he isnt intrested.

    Maybe fighting someone in the top 40 might be a good idea before you go in with the top dogs.

    I don't blame him to be fair. Murray would simply be playing Ortiz's sacrificial lamb. Granted, the reward would be massive. But he'll also risk being beat down, embarrassed, and having his aura of invincibility ripped away from him.

    He should fight Kim over in America, would be great publicity, a war and prove if he can hack it at world-ish level

    This he already turned down a fight with Katsidas. Will be interesting to see who he fights next.

    Things what concern me with John Murray. Watching saturday's fight I dont like this turning Murray into a boxer he's beat bullying, boaring and mauling people. Yes try and add a bit come rolling in but please stop this nonsense from saturday. Jim Watt and I quote!!!!!!!!! "I think John Murray should stand on the outside and look to counter punch this bloke more" :-( John could stand on one side of the ring with his guard up he'd get caught just as much lying on the other man's chest digging in his spiteful punches. No offence to John but its like Floyd snr said about Gatti "we'll shut our eyes throw a punch and Gatti will walk onto it" Get the maurding John Murray back
