    Scott Lawton the English lightweight champion is looking for a matchup between himself and British Champ Murray. He compares Murray to Gethin, whom he defeated.

    What do you guys reckon on this potential bout?

    He compares Murray to Gethin?! :lol:

    Good luck with that theory. I think he may change his mind in the ring.

    "He fights a lot like Martin Gethin and I dealt with him fairly comfortably," said Lawton. "He suited the way I box and I think John will suit the way I box as well."

    Im not to sure on the outcome but Id hope Lawton could do a job on Murray. Lawton seems like a decent chap, Murray on the other hand..

    It's a good match up. I'm all for good traditional domestic match ups. Lawtons comeback after Khan is deserving of such a shot. If Murray isn't making a C'wealth or Euro fight then this is the sort of fight he needs to keep busy.

    Agreed. Lawton is still one of the top domestic lightweights and in my opinion deserves his shot. He was beaten by Thaxton in a British title fight in March 07, and then lost to Khan in his next fight. Since then he has won 6 on the bounce including a win over the unbeaten Martin Gethin for the English title.

    As much as I would love to see Lawton get another shot at the British title, Murray should really be demanding Hennessey get him a Euro title shot against Mezaache.

    People should be fighting over Mezaache. Thaxton, Murray and Khan should be doing everything to make that fight. That fight has W and Euro belt written all over it!

    Khan could get it, Warren will offer more easily. But i think Hennessey will have some promotional rights over him. So i see Murray V That French dude happening.

    I agree billy, the fight would really get the publics attention. Lawtons a good intelligent fighter though, I'd say he would be able to do what mcallister did... But for a longer period.

    Limond is worthy of a shot. He should avoid the WBU and fight for the English title. That way he could be the one fighting Murray.

    I think Limond could beat Murray with the right training and strategy.
