i think amir has got too much skill for murray. i'd rather see murray stiick at 135 and face katsidis. kats would be up for that coz he likes bashing pommies and i think murray would give him more trouble than mitchell who was badly prepared

[bluemercury]

i think its a perfect warm up fight for amir before the clash between bradley or alexander

Why Mccloskey? Murray is a better fight. Also Murray is known in Manchester

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

It's a decent fight and Sky will love it as it'll definitely sell more than Peterson or McCloskey. Just a case of how much Murray wants and whether Khan wants the fight.

I agree I think Murray's styles tailor made for Khan man .Khan would probably win a wide ud ( nearly every round ) or stop Murray .Lee McAlsiter was outboxing Murray man .If he had a bit more pop or stuck to his gameplan he'd probably have win .

I like seeing any domestic or European fighter stepping up to world level man .This fight would be good I think especially the MEN cause Murray's from Manchester so it'd be his home turf .He's only fought there onced tho man Khan's topped the bill there a couple of times , Kotelnik Prescott .Murray wants to get big like Hatton man I can't see that happening tho .MEN man that's where Hatton's best night was against Tszyu .

Murray is an extremely limited journeyman, who would be badly exposed by any genuine contender he ever fought. The only things he's got going for him are his nationality and his big mouth. Plus he's a Lightweight. McCloskey is a bone fide top 10 Jr Welterweight, is borderline world class, has real skills, and is an infinitely more credible opponent than Murray is. Murray has done nothing whatsoever to deserve a world title shot even at Lightweight, and most certainly not at Jr Welterweight. Khan's team are being cheap.
