    I dont know too much about him as i have only seen a few of his fights. I dont hear him mentioned much on this forum either so im wondering how good do you think he is? From what ive seen he seems like a solid operator with good boxing skills. Hes already picked up the commonwealth belt so i wonder if a macklin or Barker fight is a possible choice in the future. Granted their probably a step ahead of him at this point but maybe they could be possible matchups in if murray keeps winning. Also how far do you think he can go?

    I dint think Murray is too far away from barker and macklin. Especially macklin. He is definitely doing things quietly and coming under the radar. I dint think you will find many on here that aren't impressed with him

    I've only seen a bit of him he looks very good in my eyes and I no alot of ppl that speak highly of him. If he fought macklin I think he'd do very well I think macklin is so overrated.

    Macklin would be too much for him.

    Pretty average fighter I'm afraid. I don't see him going beyond domestic. I mean he's a pressure fighter, but he's got no power. He looks like a poor mans Jamie Moore.

    Agree with TFFP seems like a solid all round fighter but nothing paticualrly special about him he is probably a level below Macklin and Barker. Hard to see where he can go domestically without getting a shot at Macklin or Barker

    He will be in some exciting fights (check out his fight with Renda in Prizefighter if you haven't - still the best ever Prizefighter fight IMO) and he looks like a very solid domestic operator. If he continues to progress, then he could possibly reach European level, but nothing beyond that. I'm a fan though and will be watching his career with interest. Hopefully he get's a big domestic fight this year.

    Oh hi skel, you never did explain to me about matty hall did you ya *****?
    And am I not saying it how I see it. I think his progression has been impressive, and that I think he would fate quite well against macklin and barker. This doesn't mean I am saying he is world class. Time will tell on that one. Put it this way neither macklin or barker are world class

    Imo a fight with Barker looks more likely than a fight with macklin. Macklin is that little bit further up their rankings than Barker and is in a slightly better position for a world title. He wouldnt be likely to take a Murray fight as he would view it as a step back. Its hard to see where barker will get his foot in the door as far as a title shot is concerned at the moment at least. A barker-Murray fight would make sense as Murray is now ranked no 6 by the WBA. Its a fight that could push barker further up the ratings and its a chance for Murray to get in the mix at the top level. Maybe it would take place by the end of this year.

    This notion of being only domestic class does my head in.
