Golovkin makes offer to Martin Murray for November 2 in the US

I think most boxing fans thought Murray deserved to win his fight with Martinez. If GGG KOs Murray with ease it sure makes him look like a much better fighter than Martinez. Team Martinez said Martinez ruined Macklin and that's why GGG beat Macklin so easily. Since Murray knocked Martinez down and gave him hell for the whole fight team Martinez can't say he ruined Murray. A clear win over Murray would be a great win for GGG. GGG is the one acting like a real champion because he tries to get fights with the best possible opponents.

Murray won't last more than 7 rounds with Good 'Ol Gennady. Murray is a "good boxer" but just like Macklin he will eventually lose his focus due to the pressure and power of the intimidating GGG, and effectively become a "good boy".

It's definitely Good Boy season.

I like Martin Murray and he really should be the unified champ as he beat Sergio IMO as well as Sturm. But I could see him being good boy'd by GGG. Martin has a great high guard but takes a few shots to get his off Winky style. Against a monstrous puncher like GGG this is a silly idea. If I was murray I'd jump at the chance for a GGG fight. all the champs know that Murray is a tough tough fight so will avoid him like the plague. a win against GGG would give him a belt and a chance for some big money fights.

Yeah, they asked him how he would go about beating Golovkin and he said something like 'take a baseball bat in with him'. Barker didn't seem keen on the fight at all but significantly Murray never ruled it out. He did say however, that anyone fighting GGG will request a sizeable payday. That's why macklin got the same purse as golovkin. Nobodies gonna fight him unless they get paid really well. And golovkin seems ok with that which is rare

I'm hoping to see it, but Murray did not seem too keen on the idea from the interview I saw. i thought the same thing.

Another cool thing about GGG is that he's fine with purse parity with his challengers! They should just have him on HBO every 8 weeks, it's unbeatable bang for their buck

Golovkin makes offer to Martin Murray for November 2 in the US According to sources in Russia, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0) has made an offer to St. Helen's world title challenger Martin Murray (25-1-1) to fight on November 2 in New York. Golovkin's manager Oleg Hermann said: "As a next opponent, Gennady wants Murray. "We have already made an offer to Martin. The only problem is his unresolved issues with a US visa. If he will deal with this and would be willing to meet with Gennady, we are happy." http://news.boxrec.com/news/2013/golovkin-makes-offer-martin-murray-november-2-us#.UdQffwZqYGg.twitter It is understood that the fight date had been agreed with US broadcasters HBO. Murray, 30, lost a contentious points decision to Sergio Martinez in Argentina back in April - the only defeat of his career, while Golovkin's murderous punching power halted Brit Matthew Macklin's challenge in the third round on the weekend. Great fight!!!! This needs to happen. What a fight! What a year! Floyd vs Canelo, Manny vs Bam Bam, and GGG vs Murray? WARGGGGGG!:boxing:

Very good fight! I was impressed with Murray during the Martinez fight!

Didn't Murray joke that he would need to bring a baseball bat into the ring if he were to fight Golovkin. Yeah, they asked him how he would go about beating Golovkin and he said something like 'take a baseball bat in with him'. Barker didn't seem keen on the fight at all but significantly Murray never ruled it out. He did say however, that anyone fighting GGG will request a sizeable payday.

Wonder who they're going to fight for the Aug/Sept date probably Adama/Mora level guy. Doesn't seem like we'll see Golovkin face the Geale/Barker winner this year. Here's hoping that Murray is willing to step up. Murray is no coward but I think he will definitely think twice. He was in the studio for the Macklin fight and both him and Barker adknowledge the danger of fighting Golovkin. I think he'll take the fight though. The UK MW's can take these risks because if all else fails, they can fight each other for decent money.

Depending on Murray's punch resistance, this could be a decent test. He's a pretty strong guy, so will be interesting if he can push GGG back. If not, he will likely suffer a similar fate to Mack... I expect him to last longer though. He's a big MW so his punch resistance should be better than Macklin's. His defence is better too, he keeps his hands up high like Cotto.

good asss fight right here

Great, this is the exact thing I want to see from Team GGG, get people like Macklin, Murray etc in the ring and eliminate them so that the top names have no options to go to, this also increases his profile, not just telling us how no one wants to fight him. Yeah Felix Sturm might have ducked him as a mandatory but he is a champ now so he can offer fighters good payday especially with HBO backing him. According to Hearn, both guys were previously offered fights and passed. Of course the reward is better now that HBO is all in on GGG, so some challengers will be willing where they weren't before. But for this to happen, it took a major change in management and philosophy at HBO. Without this, he'd still have trouble getting top guys to challenge for his belt, and you'd be saying he wasn't being ducked.

This is the one I wanted. Murray>>>>>>>Macklin.

very good fight i was thinking murray would be the most likely alright, when he Knocks Murray out (some would argue the true lineal middleweight champ now) it will be another strong statement
