Euro's then go for Alex Arthur I reckon. Arthur would give him something different to think about without having too much pop at LW to really trouble him. He needs to forget Khan and stick to Lightweight. Chasing Khan around will make him end up looking like Witter (or Froch early doors). Carve out your own career and then let them come knocking for you. I like Murray alot. I can see the criticisms (plodder, too slow etc) but I think his intelligence makes up for an awful lot. Plus fighting someone like Arthur would allow him to adapt his game a little but in a relatively risk free environment. I really think Murray, if he develops in the way we expect will have a cracking career and (depending on how the division looks in five years or so) he really does have World title potential.
good idea, but arthur has a thyroid problem and can't fight below light welter. damn shame, with arthur as a former "world champion." i wouldn't mind seeing murray beat gavin rees - might help his world ranking, and it keeps him the lonsdale belt. re katsidis - murray is a very promising fighter. katsidis looked good beating escobedo, but john murray is an excellent prospect.
Didnt know that. Thanks, must have missed that news. Shame for AA as well, cant see him doing much at light welter.
