Khan Clash can wait

I belive they were in the same weight division back then where they not atsch I also belive Murray wasnt saying "Yeah me and Mick (Hennesey) can put Khan on my undercard :happy

 

So 5Lbs makes such a difference to a big bad lad like Murray...its less than half a proper weight division for **** sakes. In fact I'd have a fiver on Murray weighing more on saturday night climbing through the ropes than Khan did when in against Paulie.

 

''One he won’t be taking is Victor Ortiz. Why should he?''

And to think, over the last few months ive read article after article from Murray on how he can't get the big names, he's struggling with debt, no one will fight him. And now it's ''why should I''?

''Juan Manuel Marquez, Michael Katsidis, Humberto Soto – there are more than enough marquee names at lightweight for John''.

The winner of Marquez/Katsidis won't fight Murray. Whoever wins that fight will be in line to fight the best in the world not an unknown Brit with very few fans, who will bring very little money to the table.

Reading this **** makes me cringe.

 

No you're right I dont know why they dont cut out the light welterweight division all together and just have lightweight and welter :good

 

Exactly. He couldn't mention anything but Khan in the past but now Khan's matured into a decent champion he seems to have STFU.

 

And Khan wouldnt mention him, until he moved up in weight

 

''We understand would be an opportunity to fight a name in America, but how about Juan Diaz? He’s a name.''

That has to be quote of the year.

 

Any news on when he's getting a proper promoter?

I see Mick Marsden knocking around all the time in Rothwell but I'd feel a muppet walking up to him and asking..... mainly because he's got no clue who I am!!

 

in your article you state that khan has never held the british or european title fair enough. But how many fighters in the Top 30 has Murray actually beat? i'm convinced there are fighters on his record that would fall short in the top 40 in the world rankings. So given the context winning the european and british titles isnt so praise worthy when the competition faced is sub-level.Murrays record is inflated, that ukranian who murray beat over the weekend was beaten twice by a former kickboxer that should tell you everything about his padded up record

 

Exactly. Winning the British and Europeon titles mean nothing when your fighting guys outside the top 50. He beat Gary Buckland for the Euro so that says a lot. Khan has faced a much tougher level of opposition. Even ***an is better than some of the guys Murray's beat. :rofl

 

I honestly don't understand all the flak Murray gets on here.

 

So he needs to be worrying about his own division, but he should face Ortiz?

 

Thats what puzzles me. Only last month I read in boxing monthly that Murray was saying he couldnt get fights. Now he doesnt need them?

 

Murray just needs a breakthrough fight.

Whether at 135 or 140. Just fight someone who people know.

In the States, Germany, for short money - whatever.

If it's Ortiz, great. Definitely a winnable fight for him in my opinion.

But don't sit around at domestic level any longer. Step up, if you lose you lose, so what?

Least he can say he tried!
