Murray is a coward, plain and simple. How can you defend him?

    Okay, so when Arum outright says he can match Bradley up with Pacquiao... that means nothing and there's no future implications?

    That was the plan, he was gonna take a "title" and run with it.
    That's not happening now.

    He had a controversial draw. What're the chances that Sturm rematches a guy who almost beat him compared to guys who actually beat him?

    Soliman had a controversial win and has a mandatory shot
    Geale has a legit win and is the number three with the number 2 spot empty. An eliminator in between the Soliman fight will make him the mando.
    Barker has a rematch clause and if he heals up and comes back for one fight could happen.
    Stick pointless voluntaries in there to keep him tuned up and where does Murray fit in? He'll make as much money fighting somebody like Truax or some other bottom barrel WBA kid. Everyone is now going for Sturm in Germany, even Macklin, and Macklin did better
    Arum mentioned it and Sturm mentioned Murray.

    Bradley was about 4th or 5th choice to face Pacquiao so sometimes the stars just align

      Behind who?

      Floyd and Juan?
      Who else was in front?
      Mike Jones was on the undercard to win a belt for a future fight, look how that worked out.
      Rios? Rios wasn't even in talks until early 2013

          Bradley was signed and put into the Casamayor fight specifically to build up to a Pacquiao fight. He was a first choice if there ever was one.

            The one Cotto said hell no to because of the catch weight?

            I'm talking about actual contenders to fight like Soliman, Geale.... I'll remove Barker fornow since he doesn't even know if he's fighting again yet.

                    One person in front of Bradley in a PPV matchup that has to be appealing for the public to buy... good job, you destroyed my argument of Soliman, Geale and countless other voluntaries the German public won't care about but will pay for in front of Murray

                      Look, this will happen and you can praise me for being an all mighty Psychic.

                      Sturm will fight Soliman in the Spring and then another Voluntary later this year all while making straight cash
