    i can't believe people are asking for are two great prospects to step in the ring and fight each other so soon in their respective careers. Wouldn't it be better for us and them to wait till they're bigger names and at least one of them a world champion, imagine Haye & Macca fought earlier no way would it have been as big. i wanna see this fight it goes without saying, but imagine how big it will be a couple of years down the line, a fight now would ruin the loser.

    Or they could fight now and if they both made it to the top they could fight again, rather than us being left in a situation where they may never fight .

    Oscar Larios and Israel Vasquez fought each other early in their careers and went on two fight each other twice more with the fight being much bigger on each occasion .

    Plus there is no guarentee either is going to win a World title .

    Don't agree.

    Young prospects should be matched against each other to actually help them learn and become better fighters.

    I would rather us have one top guy unifying belts et al than two guys who get padded records and get hammered at the top level.

    I don't see either getting to world level - Murray is too one dimensional and Khan has leaky defence and glass jaw.

    Totally disagree. We need to establish who the best in the country is.

    He hasn't won a world title, he was given a belt to hold his trousers up with.

    That depends if you consider the WBO a legit world title.
    This fight needs to happen.End of.

    Herol Graham couldn't and he's a much better fighter than I see Khan or Murray ever being .

    Neither of these are going anywhere on the world stage. They might as well fight now whilst they are undefeated, the fight is as big as it will ever be.

    They should fight for the British belt; it's what it is there for. Whoever wins can rightfully claim to be the best in the country and then move on to Europe and maybe the rest of the world.

    i could see murray beaten a couple of guys on the lower end of the top 10 such as katsidis and a few others as for amir things are looking a bit bleek
