    GGG is touted as a monster....and he may very well prove to be so vs Murray this weekend...but I like Murray, I think he's a hard luck kind of victim of home cooking ...in his fights with Martinez and Sturm. I guess I can 't say with 100% certitude that he was, but from what I've been able to glean from reports regarding those fights, he reminds me in a way of my man Jimmy Young...getting screwed...being the bridesmaid and never the bride. Anyway, I tend to like Murray and don't wish him to be obliterated...I hope that Martin turns out to be to GGG what Randy Shields was to Pipino Cuevas...a 15 round (in this case 12 rounds) surviving "toughie".. who has his moments however few they may be, but that he ,may last the distance and milk the most out of his chin and defensive skills to survive without suffering a kd. If it's not in the cards for him to win, if GGG is too daunting an obstacle...an unstoppable force,etc., at least there would be a measure of vindication for him to have his Randy Shields moment against the guy who is touted as "the most feared fighter in the world".
