    I love Hennessey. He is crazy. This fight has no purpose for Murray. Sure, if he wins he has one over Khan but its not worth the risk.

    Hard to know for sure, but itÂ’s certainly better than Khans, and it needs to be considering his fighting style. He does seems to bruise quite easily, even the light punching McAllister left half his face purple after their fight.

    I might take Murray over Khan, but Prescott over Murray. Not that I think Prescott is levels above Murray, but simply styles make fights.

    Murray is still quite open. Not a lot of head movement. Doesn't show much lateral movement. So he presents quite an easy target as a pressure fighter. Prescott with those long, looping powerful shots will catch him as he tries to close distance.

    Prescott will come unstuck against a good outboxer and mover.

    I have it the other way TFFP.

    Murray over Prescott and Khan over Murray.

    88 posts and my first "stfu noob". Yaldy. You'll see about murray in time - limited and one dimensional. If McAllister hadnt been such a daft lad and had stuck to the boxing rather than foolishly opting for a macho war, he'd have beaten Murray on points.

    No, he wouldn't. He could not keep up the pace and hence he got dragged into a fight that wasn't good for him. It was inevitable. His clowning only hastened the decline.

    The only thing I've seen so far from Murray that he has over Khan in Boxing Skill, is his composure and ability to stick at a particular gameplan, even if it is one dimensional. Khan goes a bit wild and is over eager to trade close up, when his infighting skills are poor. Apart from the ***an/StClair fight I havent seen Khan really even try to pace himself and pick the opponent off. If Murray has a decent chin, which I havent seen tested yet by a puncher, then he probably could beat Prescott, but being honest no one has seen much of Prescott. You cant glean much information from a 50 second KO. Bit like Khan's fight against Earl. If the fight actually went a few more rounds, Khan himself would have learnt so much more.

    What I said was very much joking about... You can't really judge Murray on one peformance... He's a tremendous fighter and Khans team know it thats why they are evading him... Long term we'll see whose right.. but the only thing that will stop him doing well is himself.

    You say records mean nothing.........but you took time out yesterday to deficate over Joe Calzaghe's record with your own biased little list of love.

    And 27 year olds shouldn't use the terms STFU or noob.....

    Ridiculous
