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

[Citizen Koba]

Hatton and Murray have gone to Germany to fight Sturm and gone to Argentina to fight Martinez so lets end this "avoiding" talk. They may very well get a better offer to fight Barker.

Tend to agree. I don't see Murray as the ducking kind at all and this would be the biggest fight out there for him in prestige as well as £s. If Hatton doesn't feel he's ready then Murray needs to send him packin'..

As you say, a domestic tear up with Barker could make good sense as well - and is certainly more winnable, but I'd thought Barker - Sturm was in the making?

Totally agree with everything you said there.

The other poster hasnt looked into Murrays background before his ****** comment.

Murray is one tough SOB and will fight anyone anywhere

Murray was allowed to keep his ranking with the WBA after the Sergio fight on the condition that he fights Golovkin next. He already avoided him and now with barker in the picture, it will continue

When did Murray avoid him?

Martin Murray is the true Lineal Champion at MW IMO.

He should fight Barker, the winner fight Golovkin.

When did Murray avoid him?

These:

'Gennady has already said that he wants to fight Martin Murray next,' manager Oleg Hermann told World Boxing News.
'The problem is, we are told that Martin has big problems with his United States visa and cannot go to America.
'If he can get his visa and wants this fight, we have a date on November 2 and we can make this big fight happen at Madison Square Garden.

'As yet, we have had no answers back from Murray or his team on this matter.'

Well, I think that Murray should have, at least, called GGG to cross the Pond.
But did he?

[Foreign Soil]

Lol @ newfound Murray hype. He couldn't clearly beat Sturm or the chubby Martinez. He's solid, like Macklin, Barker, Geale, Sturm, but he's no better.

So Murray avoided him by not being allowed into the country?

Well, I think you have stopped reading just here:

Am I wrong?

I'm not how sure how that equates into him avoiding Golovkin.
