    Murray has never been world level, Macklin is currently a solid top10 contender something Murray cannot lay claim to...

    He's achieved more than Murray and would still dominate him. Performed better against Sturm before getting beat off a top 5 P4P.
     
  4. Macklin vs Barker is the best 160lb fight that can be made on these shores.

    Also, Murray is talking absolute bollocks if he believes Macklin is on the slide. He gave Martinez a lot of trouble and never embarrassed himself. In fact I would argue, though others may disagree, that his performane against Martinez was better than his perfromance against Sturm for large parts.

    Murray is better than Macklin, more versatile. Can box at range.

    If Macklin is so ****, why has Murray clearly indicated a reluctance to fight him?

    Barker and Macklin are a level above Murray.

    Wondering with all the talk between these two in the past month, if something is in the works?

    I hope so, Macklin would smash Murray

    Macklin will always come up short on the World Stage.

    I think that's slightly harsh. He only got beat by the two best Middleweights.

    Many think he was unlucky against Sturm, and he was in the fight, and boxed exceedingly well in parts against Martinez.
     
  11. Macklin did better against Sturm than Murray did, despite the official result appearing otherwise.

    Martin is very overrated, and Macklin thinks that Martin is a stepping stone by the sounds of it.

    Nice domestic dust up. But if Macklin loses, he'll have nowhere to go afterwards!

    Macklin beat Sturm.

    Sturm beat Murray.

    We know the truth, **** what scorecards say.
