    No. But in the words of Clint Eastwood, "Deserve's got nothin to do with it".

    No but in saying that he worked his way and was left waiting for ages for a shot, many others have shortcut there way to a title shot. He really should of had this shot 18-12 months ago. In saying that losing to a domestic rival then fighting Rios is **** poor decision..

    No, there are a bunch of fighters who'v beaten better guys then murray and would thrash john in a heart beat, but unfortunately the powers that be have allowed for this meeting to take place whether boxing fans like it or not.

    Julio Ceser Chavez didn't even lose his WBC #1 ranking after being thrashed in a warm up fight.

    Weather he deserve's it or not he's been given the shot hope he's getting a decent pay check because their is no way he's going to beat Brian Rios.
