Now why would Amir Khan fight John Murray? This is ridiculous.

Well they're both from the Manchester area, they both have decent fan bases in the UK. This fight would make a lot of money, I'd go see it. Murray is like a less crude, less powerful version of Maidana. He's also a massive light weight so coming up to 140 shouldn't be a problem.

........@ khan saying he has moved to world class opposition and that prescott is beneath his level, then fighting murray(potentially)

Comapring Murray to El Chino Maidana is a disgrace, Murray is a domestic bum from the UK that has a grossly padded record and got outboxed by Yusef Al Hamidi the Ice cream van driver from Dewsbury, The guy and his camp are total jokers and Murray has no business being in the same ring as Khan.

I hate it when British fighters think because Khan lives 10 minutes away from them they are somehow entitled to a massive domestic showdown with a grossly over the top purse. Murray if the fight is made should be paid very, very cheaply. I dont want Murray to get a dime from Khan, The opportunity to fight Khan and for a world title should be more important than the money.

I would say Murray has an average fan base here at best. I know it's a stay busy fight and he's not going to face the toughest competition but there are better options than John Murray and Paul Mccloskey.

You think? He's strong for a Lightweight but I know he's weighed in under the 135 limit in a few of his last fights.

if murray does'nt except the peanuts then khan will duck him too nwith the old he priced himself out trick duckmove.

I think murray would whoop prescott's butt, murray is a good inside fighter, strong and has a decent jab, he use to give ricky hatton hell in sparring sessions. Whilst he hasn't proved himself at world level yet I agree, the prescott factor is irrelevant here, like I said I think murray is better and has a better resume. Financially it is a big fight and murray has talked bad about khan in the media before and called him out on numerous occassions, and I realise everyone calls khan out but this is about bragging rights in the north of England. I do think khan will dismantle Murray though, but I think khan would dismantle a lot of good fighters. I would personally rather see khan v katsidis though...that is an event, albeit again a one sided fight...the hype would be tremendous and katsidis definitely has the power to cause an upset.

English southpaw McCloskey?????

Someone give that man a slap for me

[>CraftySouthpaw]

I don't really rate Murray. Khan would take him apart.

Murray I find is very limted, and has been given the right opponents & the right time to get that unbeaten record. His best win is a washed up Jon Thaxton.

He isn't proven against top tier Lightweights. Khan all day if this happens.

I would prefer Prescott II, or Paul McCloskey.

There is probably more demand for the Prescott rematch than any other opponent Amir could face, don't care if he hasn't done much to deserve a title shot lately. Plenty of fighters who get shots anyway even if they haven't done much or them so why not a fighter ppl actually are interested in seeing Amir fight?

Because it's obvious that Khan wants no part of Prescott. He mentioned that Prescott has fallen off the radar, but who are these other guys he's asking to fight? Besides Petersen I've never heard of the others.

It's clear to me that he is mentally afraid to face Prescott which strikes me as a big deterent to him being as great as HE thinks he is or that he wants to be. Great fighters are not afraid to face someone they previously lost to.
