Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Stevens Winner Has To Face Martin Murray

[Tay Roc]

Murray has had visa issues for like 22 years. They only come up when a legit fight has been presented to him.

Martin Murray are they kidding me. Imo that dude is weak. They could've gave the winner a better mandatory than that.

Wish they coulda, but who exactly? Go down list of top MWs and they are all commited or injured. Andy Lee and Brian Vera were the only ones available when I last checked (week or two back) and they're hardly more credible than Murray. Thing is, the only three players really left who people can say GGG ain't fought (who may be better than those he has) are Quillin -(who realistically can't expect Gena to come to him), Maravilla (injured) and Junior (who's unable to decide his weight class). After them, Murray may well be the best of the pick.

It's not a good way for it happen, but almost by default, I see GGG at the top at MW. You may disagree, but who else is available to fight so as he can prove it?

Supposedly?

I thought you were making a wider statement, about supposed ducking? Or you just sensitive about Murray? There's a lot to learn from that video. For example, apparently it's not the first time Murray's people passed on a GGG offer.

****. 22 years? You mean he got in that Chip Shop brawl when he was 7 years old? I been seriously underestimating this guy...

Murray's people passed because they can't fight in the USA. What part of that isn't clear?

As for Barker, he hasn't been offered the fight. Make him a better offer than what he's able to get fighting in the UK and go from there. Eddie Hearn is a promoter and its about getting the best for his fighter.

We don't really know much about the first offer, may have for a UK date or somewhere in Europe. GGG would fight in Canada or Mexico, I'm sure. I understand HBO wanted this next date in NYC, so impossible. But both GGG and Quillin said they'd fight him in the UK. Seems like Team Murray would show more enthusiasm for that option.

Hearn didn't say it would take a good offer to fight GGG, he said MASSIVE

Hearn and Hatton don't want their guys fighting GGG, they have both pretty much said this and Murray himself didn't exactly looked thrilled of the prospect of fighting GGG when he was on SKY during the Macklin vs GGG fight.

"need a baseball bat to beat him", "there would have to be huge money at stake for me to take a GGG fight"

I do believe he would fight GGG though because hes a tough bastard. I actually think it would be a good dust up but GGG's power would prevail at some point i feel.
