    See these two just talking about possibly having a fight against each other next. I think that could be pretty fun but ultimately game over for the loser.

    What do you guys think?

    Its been game over for Murray for a while. He's not going to win a world title.

    I don't think an inability to win a world title is game over, he can still be in some kind of meaningful fights just at lower levels

    I assume this will be back down at middleweight?

    Great fight but go for Murray on points. Biased though.

    He said recently he will go back to 160 which makes sense as he can make use of his size again. I'd take him on points too. Although I do wonder how much is left in the tank

    Rosado is now a journeyman before he was just a tough gatekeeper but his done now. Murray will get knocked the next time he tries to go world level he really struggled with Lawal his last fight.

    Both shopworn after tough careers, but h2h Murray is a better fighter. I'd go with Murray on points.

    Quite like this fight - think I would favour Murray. But then again he looks worse as every fight that comes, I worry that Martin is now a shot fighter..

    He completely dominated that Lawal fight, despite the referee being a bell. The only thing he struggled with was knocking him out.

    To be fair to him, only Golovkin has battered him. He didn't look out of his depth with Sturm, Abraham and Martinez. Groves was too big for him.

    Like what's already been said, he should step back down to MW where he's quite big for the weight.

    Rosado should be an easy fight for Murray,

    Rosado has always been domestic level at best and Murray is better than that, both are shop worn so that isn't an issue imo

    His never been good enough for a title he's above domestic level but hes one step below world level. Monroe, Lemieux Eubank would beat him imo. I like your passion for british fighters though you show alot of support.

    Decent fight and gives the winner a chance at one last run at world level.

    Murray is close to shot its getting to the stage where hes letting his hands go less and less. Could be a fun fight id lean towards Murray because Rosado is a bit easier to hit and he has been in some damaging wars a few more than mm
