    Could it be that when Ortiz smash's Murrey, Khan thinks he could build his fan base by getting redemption by trying to beat Ortiz:think

    To be honest I think GBP have probably told him to plug it while he's back over here. They've probably still see those $ signs whenever they think of a transatlantic show down thanks to Hatton's legacy.

    more like he's either a garbage pundit or that he's doing work for his bosses at golden boy. and also gets to detract from murray's good performance.

    It was never seriously on as a fight. The fans wanted to see it, but there's more argument that Khan avoided Thaxton than Murray. Murray had been under-performing until he beat Meager.

    The old pre-Prescott version of Khan would possibly lose to Murray, but the new Roach-trained version just moves away from him all night and brutalises him with straight shots.

    Yeah, khans really scared of Murray that's why he's taking on the feather fisted bum that is maidana!!! People always criticize who khan fights but Murray has fought noone in the class as Barrera, kotelnik or malignaggi. Hell, he ain't fought anyone with a ko % over 50% yet noone gives him stick.

    Don't start that race **** on here. People don't like Khan for a number of reasons, but it's nothing to do with his ethnic background.

    Murray is a non entity at world class, as soon as he steps up he will be exposed. He is very game, but not bright enough, he will get bombed by left hooks and upper cuts all night against anyone at world class, or any counter puncher of class. That was proven in last nights fight.

    Khan would brutally KO Murray if they fought now. It would be all over inside 6 rounds.

    Agree about it being a pick em, if it was a pre-Prescott Khan.

    Murray needs to step up. I think Ortiz would beat him though, he should go after Soto who is very beatable.

    It's painfully obvious: GBP want to make an in-house fight between Khan and Ortiz. Ortiz doesnt have a fight lined-up for later in the year yet so GBP have eyed-up someone who has been after Khan for ages and are trying to dangle the carrot of a Khan fight further down the line should Murray win.

    If Bradley and Alexander actually sign to fight each other there will be a rematch regardless of the outcome so GBP are just covering their asses with regards to opponents for Khan next year.
