Comments Thread For: Smith: If Anyone Can Stand Up To Golovkin - It's Murray

[Tom Cruise]

Under 7 rnds imo

If Murrays a tough mofo then the ref/corner will have to stop it. But im sure it will be stopped. Just cant see what Murray has to stop GGG steamrolling him

Golovkin seems to tear through his higher ranked opponents more quickly than his lower ranked.

Macklin, Geale, Rubio were top 10 MW's and taken out inside of 3 rounds.

Adama, Stevens, Rosado were in the top 15, but lasted 7-8 rounds.

That's bad news for Murray who's been a top 10 for few years now due to being undefeated at the domestic level, competitive in fights with Sturm & Martinez, and nice wins over Bursak and Spada. He's not elite, but he lives the life always training, it'll be interesting to see his durability tested.

Pity proposed fights with Quillin & Chavez never came off for Murray.

Murray is a solid fighter, I just don't think he has the style to give GG problems. I would rather see Golovkin have to fight a guy that can push him and make him fight going backwards. Unfortunately there is no one at 160 like that.

I just think GGGs power is so good that even good, durable fighters like Murray will fold. It was the same with Macklin - really tough guy, GGG just made it look like he was nothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ended early, but at the same time I feel like GGG will probably want to go 6-7 rounds this time around.

No one at 160 can stand up to him. Maybe Cotto or Canelo but I doubt it.

GGG early, Murray hasn't the power to command his respect and I've seen him badly buzzed by light hitters (guy in Prizefighter, Sturm in the 12th round)

Murray hits hard and is very mobile. He bounces around a lot, and can move in and hit hard.

Rumors say Murray is breaking peoples limbs in sparring. His sparring partners have claimed they have never been hit so hard. Apparently, Murray has lost his mind with rage. He refuses to speak to his family. This new, nasty, mentally unstable murray, might do a lot better than people think.

Rather Canelo I'd say. I feel like Cotto would be blitzed by GGG.

Murray would beat Canelo.

Murray would beat Canelo.

Wouldn't bet my house...
