    Well Froch v Murray would be an entertaining and safe way for Froch to finish. And Eddie may have taken Murray on just to line him up for Froch or Degale, the way he took Gavin on to give to Brook.

    Martin has already said he can make MW if the fight is right. The problem he has is that he has already fought Golovkin and issues with his visa rules him out of Cotto.
    I can see him keeping active at SMW and targeting Lee or N'Dam.
    Golovkin is sure to move up soon

    Let's be serious, are people suggesting that Murray is out of his depth at 168, that he gets blown Away?

    When the likes of Paul Smith is mixing with Abraham twice in a row then rolling onto Ward.
    Nah fact is there is a lot of fights for him up there, I'd place him as favourite against Groves, Cal Smith , Paul smith & rocky fielding - who are all in rumoured to be firmly in the title mix in next 6-12 months.

    I'd also tip him to beat Jack, Abraham, Both Dirells

    He'd give a very tough fight to degale , froch & anyone else at 168 who I've missed out. He won't be out classed or out punched at super mid. No chance..!

    The thing at 168 majority can all bang a bit at the top level , Martin has always been a tad feather fisted , id fancy callum smith to blow martin away with ease

    Nah, I'm not having it that the likes of badou jack either Direll or Arthur Abraham is getting rid of him.

    Cal smith works the body amazing, degale finds those daft shots that come from nowhere , froch does what froch does... Groves has one punch power waiting to explode...
    But with the exception of froch, I don't see any of them putting anywhere near as much pressure on as GGG did...

    He threw a lot more than that, GGG just stands in front of everyone no-one so far has the power at middleweight to keep him off but Murray has done the best so far.

    GGG seems a bit of a freak at the moment at MW, imo when he does meet someone who can bang he'll be beat but that fighter also needs to be able to stay out his way with good movement and defence. So a boxer/fighter.

    Murray never threw anything worth mentioning imo it was the odd flurry of tippy tappy rubbish , basically stayed on the ropes tucked up behind a tight guard and took a complete beatdown

    Neither does anyone who fights him and he done better than anyone else, well actually I thought Willie Monroe Jnr showed GGG' s weaknesses and caught him loads of times.

    Like I said it will take a good boxer/fighter to beat him or until he gets caught! :yep

  12. Murray is just future cannon fodder for Eddies lovers DeGeale and Smith
