    Since Hennessy is cashing in on Fury, perhaps he'll take some risks with DeGale now? Like the guy above says, DeGale-Murray would be an interesting fight.

    He's not world-class, but Murray is definitely underrated.

      Murray is not world class? I used to say the same thing until he beat Martinez.

        I'll take Martin Murray against Froch, for me Froch is wide open and Martin will pick him off, too risky fight for Froch so I can't see it happening, I can see Froch taking a warm up fight before Ward.

          At 168? I think Froch's reach (and jab) is significant. Murray likes to get close to his opponent but Froch mightn't necessarily allow that to happen.

          I don't see Froch taking another "Mack" and I'll be disappointed if he does. He's actually trying to convince Kessler to do it a third time.

            The way I see it is Murray either gets KO'd by Golovkin or KO'd by Froch in the Autumn (or decides not to fight at all). At least if he loses to Carl his profile increases here in the UK.
            sturm is a padded and protected bum imo , when has sturm faced any significant fighter since de la hoya? top and bottom of it froch has faced far far superior boxers/fighters , it's a complete mismatch.

              I told you guys Murray would want this fight and it would be a good fight. So fucking underrated.

              Made this weeks before the news article http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=598786

                Macklin, Geale fight wasn't a blowout either. Martinez and Sturm can't both be bums Hugh.

                  Murray gained my respect after the Sturm and Martinez fights for sure. Make it happen.

                    Froch would mess that man up.

                      Meh, not interested. Rather see Froch/Ward 2 and Murray/Quillin.
