I agree with this statement, Ricky.

If it happens will be a shocker.

But I am hoping for the

Pacquiao/Marquez 4 shocker not the Pacquaio/bradley shocker.

[Prince_Pugilist]

If this happens could easily be one of the biggest sporting upsets of the century so far.

I can't see it happening...wishful thinking from Hatton but Martinez will be too good for Murray, IMHO.

Murray is quite big for a middleweight so it could give problems but we saw Martinez deal with a lightheavyweight in his last start out.

No Ricky..fail, Martinez is in a different league fron an over the hill Kostya who had clear ring rust and looked jaded. Murray is game but only way to beat Martinez is to outpunch him, which is virtually impossible, or ko him, which is equally impossible. FAIL!!!! But good luck to Murray.

Of course it will, I agree with Hatton here. Murray doesn't have Hatton's uncles as the referee like Hatton did against Tsyzu, Murray is fighting in Martinez's backyard unlike Hatton and Murray is fighting an active fighter not the inactive, injury-ridden and old tsyzu.

Where was his ring rust when he stopped Mitchell in 3? Every talk about Tszyu like he was shot when he clearly wasn't, he was landing bombs on Hatton.

Cuzzlo,

Tszyu was 36 & had been out of the ring 7 months when he fought Hatton. Martinez will be 38 & will have been out of the ring for 7 months when he fights Murray.

It's a pretty close comparison. Except Tszyu wasn't clinging on for dear life in his previous bout & coming off an injury.

You two took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn't have said it better.
