    Arthur for me wins it.I think Arthur'll do decent at lightweight.Arthur takes power up and stops him I think.

    I think makin weight was a huge drain on AA over the last 2 year more so than any fighter I can remember recently in British boxing.

    Not to mention Arthur's a former British Commonwealth EBU and WBO champion plus he looks after himself between fights so should be stronger at his new weight.Murray didn't even make the weight in his last fight

    Arthur a million percent, There is no way Murray would walk through him.

    I agree Murray was daft urning up 10 mins before deadline of the weigh in but he was apparently 2 beer mats over weight!!

    if he"d have weighed in 50 mins earlier and then worked out for 40 mins he would have probably made the weight

    Bu t the guys i met who know him did say they saw him 6 weks befre and he was no where near in shape

    i think limmond has a better chance of beating murray then arthur, arthur been made to go life and death with the cooks and fosters of the world how do u expect him to cope with a big lightweight who doesnt stop comming foward in a weight class hes not even used to.

    The damage is already done Dunk.
    The damage done during years of killing himself to make weight, is irreversable IMO, and moving up in weight is too late.
    Murray would work Alex over.
