Murray Hopes To Be Ricky Hatton's Heir, Eyes Katsidis

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

British lightweight star John Murray, 24, is hoping to become the next Ricky Hatton. He believes his name is gaining steam in Manchester and now he wants to be the next big thing in the UK. Murray (28-0, 16KOs) picked apart his rival Jon Thaxton, over four rounds last Saturday to get the TKO win in dominating fashion. [details]

i have only seen 4 fights of him but of what i see, i dont think he is good enough for elite level. i think he can be a contender/euro champ level at most.

Bring it on, Kats will seek and destroy.

Sure Hatton shot to stardome after the Tszyu fight.That was the fight that took him from small time boxer to superstar.

Katsidis is the one, and maybe the only high ranked lightweight that John Murray CAN beat.

Murray is absolutely wank.

Yea.. another over hyped brit coming up in the ranks.

Don't take away his accomplishments though.

Valero is having trouble getting a visa in the US. Maybe Murray can offer him a fight in the UK for his WBC world title.

Murray's got a dodgy chin, so that's a no.

I don't rate Murray. He's very easy to hit and with a lightweight division full of big hitters, he'll be easy pray. That's if he gets that far.
