Murray was most definitely robbed against Abraham. How you win rounds by landing two punches a round is beyond me.
If anything Murray's performances against Abraham and Groves raise Golovkins stock.. As he completely dominated and stopped him and Abraham and Groves struggled with him.
Constantly going out of your way to make threads bashing the guy says otherwise. That's not constructive criticism. That shows you don't like him
I'm still confused as to what this fight has to do with GGG? jury's still out for gennady but he's been doing well. I can't support bashing the guy, don't let his over zealous delusional fanatics cloud your judgement. I believe he's the goods he just hasent had the opportunity to truly solidify his hype....it will come.
It may or may not ever come, I read a thread on another site which raises something quite interesting. GGG is a bigger star and has bigger gate/viewer numbers, and yet his fight purses are in the 3 million range, where as Wilder and Povetkin had a 7 million dollar purse. There is no way Wilder should be in fights with bigger purses than GGG, GGG has bigger numbers. Yet somehow that's all that's offered, if his purses were bigger I'm sure more fighters would be willing to take the risk of fighting him. This could be related to K2 or something else I'm missing, but something just doesn't add up and is definitely something that will decrease his chances to get quality opponents in the ring.
Who are all these nutriders and why are you and Shockmaster obsessed with converting them? All I know is there is one Ukranian that all these fighters say they want to fight but for one reason or another none of them do.:deal Pity that we don't have a division made up of guys who want to be the king - instead we have a bunch positioning themselves or waiting for the fight to marinate.:dead Heres hoping Eubank proves me wrong.
ya...or you have a guy like lara whos been calling for the "king" for over a year.... but k2 never calls and makes comments like "yeah he needs to get in line at 160...he brings no money"...LOL or u have the 168 "king" that sends offers in 2015 and gets a reply "were not interested...but maybe in 2017 its possible"
160 168 "king" is looking a bit ordinary in his recent choice of opposition. Repeated warm up fights at his calibre?
This. Murray is top 10 MW post 2000 era. Murray was at the same level as these three champions at the time he fought them. Groves is strong and much bigger than him, so it wasn´t a surprise when he lost. Murray is a good fighter, but he doesn´t have the hype behind him like some other belt holders. Post 2000; Golovkin Hopkins Martinez Abraham Taylor Pavlik Sturm Murray Winky Lemieux
what does it matter how ward got opponents? ward entered a tournament knowing he could have to face any of the fighters involved.....he didn't blindly enter a tournament where he had no idea who was in it and just got lucky froch and Kessler showed up he knew theyd be there and he might have to fight them stop acting like the super 6 was a gift...I know that's how you and lil g wanna spin it...it was not a gift
