Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Murray a Done Deal For February 21

[ea22]

Is he really a factor though? no title, never headlined and only 1 good win (N'Dam).

He's a relevant name to hardcore fans and that's about it.

Well how many middleweight boxers are really relevant to casual fans? Like I said the division is barren, so he is a factor in the division, even if he shouldn't be. I will always dislike that mother****er for dropping the belt in order to avoid a fight with Koborov because daddy Haymon told him to, which is why I want to Golovkin to brutalize him before he moves up.

Very quietly Golovkin has been getting relevant names at 160. Macklin, Geale and Murray are all solid fighters. Guys are stepping up to the plate.

I wouldn't mind seeing GGG fight N'Dam or Mora next.

Great news and a great fight, really looking forward to this one. As far as I am concerned, Murray should be the lineal, WBA, IBF MW champion as he should have gotten the decisions vs. Sturm and Martinez.

Outlanded Sturm 258 to 182.

Outlanded Martinez 160 to 134, dropped him twice but only one was called.

I see HBO matching the winner of this fight with the winner of Korobov-Lee for the WBA, WBO, interim WBC MW titles.

If anyone should of gotten the dec between Sturm/Murray it was Sturm ,Murray threw nothing but pitty-pat arm punches the entire fight even goofy bias Jim Watt had a hard time scoring the fight for Martin but of course he did.

Lol this is reaching. Faded contenders are legit competition for a title holder lmfaooooo

So a guy who once said the only way he would want to fight GGG is to bring a baseball bat in the ring with him. Hmmmmm He will fold quickly, or get "injured" during training camp

This should be a good fight but likely outcome. Somehow I don't see Murray laying of the floor and wait for the ref to do a fast count the last few seconds.

[JJRod]

It's the best realistic fight for him.
He knows Chavez and Ward are both invovled in legal disputes with promoters, and it is likely that Cotto and Canelo will fight each other in May, so why wait around?

Murray best fight available, and a good chance he'll extend his consecutive KO streak.

Murray scared doe

They said the same thing about Geale, Macklin and Rubio after they finally accepted and look how it went.

[HanzGruber]

Lol wtf. That was fast

What are you talking about? All those fighters are relevant. Obviously, they aren't great fighters but they are contenders in the division. I didn't say he was fighting great A+ fighters because there aren't any at MW. But it is clear as day that these are solid contenders.

Who would you suggest he fight at MW then? I can't wait to see your list.
