        To everyone that's put Martin Murray in there top 10 your overrating him on the basis of the strum fight . Strum has been on the slide for a wile and was beat by maklin although not officially and geale . Apart from him who has he beat ? Darren barker is better and probley billy joe Saunders and that's just domestically

          His name is "Sturm", not "Strum"

          I put Murray @10, so who would you replace him with?

            To be honest I'm not sure who I'd replace him with , as I said I think barker and bj Saunders would probley beat him but Im not sure there top 10 . Put it this way I'd still pick jermaine Taylor over Murray

              Murray's current rankings: Ring #8, WBC #4, WBA #3, WBO #2. He's a former champion at the domestic level. He had a draw with Sturm, who I had ranked #2 before he lost to Geale. His next fight will be for a shot at the interim-WBA title, which will put him in line to fight Golovkin. I think having him ranked at 10 makes sense.

              Barker got beat by Martinez, and has been inactive due to injuries. Taylor's last 3 fights @160 have been against irrelevant opposition, and he got floored by one of them. He will never be a top MW again, dude is shot-to-pieces.

                Don't know why everyone has Chavez 4th and 5th on their lists...he was a punch or 2 away from knocking the number 1 guy out regardless of how 2nd best he was on the night.

                    I got Chavez @6 because of the circumstances. He's coming off a loss, while GGG/Macklin/Quillin are coming off victories. He gets bumped down and they get bumped up. He's still Ring #4, but he no longer has his WBC title and isn't ranked by any of the sanctioning bodies.
