Head to head, Khytrov already beat Murata, hurt him too. In a pro fight I have the impression Khytrov would stop Murata in a thriller. Both look to use their offense as their defense, with Khytrov having the heavier hands. As pro's Murata's off to a faster start and has the bigger promoter, but he looks like he's going to take some abuse when he steps up to the top level. He got marked up too much in his last fight for me. I'd side with Khytrov having the overall better career if he doesn't become over reliant on his punching power. Really could've/should've added Ogogo as well. I think he might have a better pro game than either of these too but it's way to early to say. I need to see more.
I agree with you on everything apart from the but about Ogogo, he will find it hard to fight his way out of Britain with amount of talented middleweights there, let alone become a world champion
Ogogo's going to have the opportunity to develop in both the UK on a domestic level and in the US under GB, of the three prospects he may develop the fastest. BJS is already well ahead of him on the pro-level, but he seems to be limited. Ogogo just recovered from a leg injury that laid him up for the last 5 months and was just able to fight this month. I expect him to start picking up in 2014. Murata is based in Japan and after his first fight they already needed to import a journeyman for him. That combination could hurt him. Plus I'm not impressed with how TR handled Korobov (though it sounds like Korobov's father may be the issue there). Khytrov's development could be held back by having a small time promotion outfit. Either he may not fight often enough or not get the adequate level of opposition for development.
Interesting 2-0 Murata's next fight is 29-3 Carlos Nascimento, well on paper anyways. Murray stopped him in 3 three years ago, but happy to see Murata moving at a decent clip.
