Yep. This is just crazy. Murray is well enough to fight the champ in Martinez, but not well enough to fight the top challenger to the throne? :dunno:
I have heard of glass chins but this guy has a glass heart if true.
After this Golovkin will be fighting back in the USA and Murray will use his visa duck excuse again and yes its a excuse this proves it! Same card but declines title shot this guy is shameless.

It is sad isn't it? Mandatory challengers waiting out their position to fight the champ usually just happens at HW, now the disease has spread to the lower weight classes. Pretty shameful.

What is to hype murray has the WBA interm belt and is Golovkin's mandatory. He was already supposed to fight him.
100% duck he's his mandatory and fighting on the same card but won't accept a title shot.

What the ****. Maybe thats to hype up a fight between them? Who else could he fight? Sergio Mora? some random bum who wins the next random MW bout?

In before "He ducking doe"

This sucks but if you think about it this makes the most sense to set up a summer blockbuster between them since Sergio is either getting paid vs Cotto or taking care of his mandatory Rubio.
I hope its Murray vs Barker and GGG vs Vera. Thatd be so fn epic to set up the showdown. Vera would definitely give GGG a god damn fight too.

Murray-Baker would only happen in one place in the UK. Massive fight over here.
Martin Murray = The most feared man in boxing!
GGG is shook!
GGG grew up beating hobos.
Martin Murray walked the mean Streets of St Helens beating up bouncers.
can't tell if sarcastic or not. Hatton himself has said that GGG's team made the offer and that they have turned it down because murray 'is not ready' ...
Weird.
Just to let people know that I'm not fighting Golovkin on Feb 1st but we're fighting on the same bill. Looking forward to it when it happens— Martin Murray (@MartinMurrayBox) November 10, 2013
What a disappointment, I hope it's not Garth Wood? Can't figure who GGG will be fighting instead...Mora,Vera???
What excuse could Murray possibly have? He's healthy, he's GGG's mandatory, and he's fighting in the same venue on the same date!?
"He's had offers - Golovkin one of them. Martin has no fear of fighting any of them and I think he's proved that by going to Argentina and going to Germany."
But Hatton knows from his own experience in the ring that there are benefits to pacing the flow of fights against top quality opposition.
"I wanted to fight Kostya Tszyu three years before I boxed him and if I'd done that, he'd have beaten me," Hatton admitted. "It's all about the right timing - build the fight up, build the interest."
Hatton thinks Murray is not quite ready atm. Dude has had tough luck in his two biggest fights and might need a confidence boost

Doesn't surprise me. I felt it was to good to be true!
GGG will no doubt be matched against another complete bum. Most cringeworthy title reign in middleweight history.
