160 without Gennady Golovkin would be competitive as hell!

    Murray vs saunders

    saunders vs lemeuix

    eubank vs stevens

    eubank vs murray

    jacobs vs saunders

    eubank vs lemeuix

    jacobs vs eubank

    jacobs vs lemeuix

    If he would move up you would call 168 bumland.
    If he would move down you would call 154 bumland.

    Murray cannot make MW anymore. While Derevyanchenko is about to break through along with others like Khytrov and Murata. Even Rob Brant or Brand, I always blank on his last name.

    Im sure Murrays thinking about the 6 figures he'd make on that PPV undercard.

    He could boil it off, but to his detriment. :-(

    It would be even more dull than it already is.

    How many world fighters have any top MWs beat combined?

    MW is basically like WW if there was no Bradley, Thurman, Brook, Porter, Vargas, Spence. If the top WW guys were like Vasquez, Ali, Bizier, Gavin, Berto that would be the MW division.

    Not to mention a few guys at 154 would move up.

    So that's the plan. Drain Murray and Have Eunuch jr get an earlier stoppage than GGG did against him and use it as propaganda. Somehow I just knew these two loathsome creature were not going to stop using GGG's mane for attention.

    I don't think it's going to happen.

    Murray is looking for a cashout type fight and Eubank Jr is the type of name that could earn him 6 figures, so he's calling him out trying to get involved in the September 10th PPV.


    My opinion is that it'd be a lose lose for CEJ even if he could take Murray out quicker than did GGG.

    The money for the fight would be nominal, maybe 250K for Eubank Jr and 125K for Murray.
    The win would be very solid for Eubank Jr, but at this point, even though he was robbed vs Abe, he's still coming off 2 losses in his last 3 fights, and beating him after that war vs Groves wouldnt be so great looking.

    NTM.....I can't possibly imagine Daddy Eubank allowing Jr to fight on a GGG undercard, especially not after he just lost out on a 4 million payday. :-(

    murray is shot as hell and GGG carried him to get rounds in did you notice he never went after the body after he knocked him down early?

    the moment he wanted him out he stopped him he did not even try that hard

    I see your point,Saunders beat Lee for his belt and since has done very little,I seen interviews with him where his main goal was to go the WBO route and it's like now he's achieved it he doesn't know what to do.
    Quillen was never mentioned either,he took a real first round battering against Jacobs and so he's not done anything since,Eubank Jr since losing to Saunders has gone backwards,Canelo dissapeared down to 154 if he was ever there at all and Lemieux has to rebuild since his loss to GGG.
    The way I see it unless Saunders and Jacobs fight each other and maybe Eubank starts to step up with guys like Quillen or Lee the GGG aside the middleweight division could become very stale?
