Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Manager: Murray Refuses To Fight Gennady

[HeroBando]

What th hell was Hatton taking about when he said Murray was getting a world title shot then? If Hatton meant the regular WBA belt, don't see why the WBA would let that happen after not fighting the mandatory.

Another crazy possibility it's that Manaco is setting up some type of middleweight tournament and Murray will be fighting Quillin.

I just read somewhere that the cruiser tournament is on for the GGG undercard in Monaco

[GhostBlade]

Golovkin has the same amount of KOs as Murray has fights. Murray wouldn't offer any threat to Golovkin. The fight would be easier than Stevens.

[Hougigo]

Personally don't blame him, he needs a lot more preparation for this fight... would be career suicide to go into a GGG fight just to get destroyed, Murray has more self-respect than that.

Then vacate his interim title and #1 spot

[DoktorSleepless]

Maybe Barker? Quillin would be a big surprise

Golden Boy made that offer for Quillin to fight in the UK. There's probably even more money in Monaco and it would be neutral ground, so if anything it would be more likely there.

Don't see Murray vs Barker happening anywhere that isn't the UK.

This is such ****. If Hatton is really keeping Murray away from Golovkin still, it's bull****.

Maybe Barker? Quillin would be a big surprise

Can't see Barker defending his title for the first time in a unification bout

my guess, it'll be a fringe contender at 160

[Hougigo]

He can fight on the same bill as golovkin, just strip him of the interim title and his #1 ranking

I hate to say it, but this is a clear duck by murray,,

1. ggg and managers want it

2. they have a date and venue locked up

3. murray is the mandatory

4. murray's handler ricky hatton stated the fight was done,,

5. murray ducked ggg, no if and or buts about it,,,,,,,,,,

I dont know why you would want to "build this fight" both guys are about as known as they are going to get, only way to reach the next level is to take a fight like this, sorta how alvarado and rios profiles rose dramatically after they squared off


6. This is just another example of why boxing as a sport is a pathetic joke

Yea.. wtf is up with this build the fight talk?
