    Martin Murray

    When does a 'bum/nobody' stop being lucky/putting in surprising performances/catching guys on a bad night etc. and just be a damn good fighter? How many world champs or p4p fighters do you have to take to the limit to stop being called a bum?

    Only idiots call Murray a bum. People who have actually watched him fight before know he is a very good boxer.

      Sensible fans know what's up...he'll need a really convincing win over a decent opponent for others to take notice. Hopefully he can decimate Chavez Jr (if that gets made) and get another title shot.

        Hes good but nothing special, love his attitude though. Not afraid to travel around to get respect. You'd be crazy if you thought that the Martinez he fought was the best version though.

        But yeah hes a good strong fighter thats for sure.

          There are many on here who are only into one or two of the big name fighters & think that any else is a bum.

          Glory hunters. They're the boxing equivalent of a home county Man U fan.

              He'll probably get the Golovkin fight, if he beats Macklin.

                  Martin Murray is an excellent MW.

                    Martin Murray despite being cherry picked by Martinez proved that he's a good fighter that night.

                    I thought he won the fight.
