    True but its all about levels and Murray has fought at a much higher level than Flanagan. Flanagan's best win is a way past it Nate Campbell.

    The style he has no way it wouldn't be about refining.

    In nearly every post I have written about John Murray recently, I can only refer back to the Rios fight it ruined him.He should of been saved earlier because he wouldn't ever quit off his own back.

    Always enjoy watching him never a dull fight whatever he decides to do.

    Yes but that is a totally different situation. Johnson was way past it and the result was inevitable and when Groves fought Froch he had beaten everyone domestically and had earned a mandatory spot.

    Flanagan hasn't beaten the best guys domestically whereas Murray won both the British and European titles and has had a crack at a world title. Admittedly he's not at that level anymore but he still has a lot to give- unlike Johnson against Groves.
