Comments Thread For: Murray: Golovkin Was So Strong, Couldn't Keep Him Off

[ИATAS]

Martin Murray isnt even a top ten.
i think golovkins one of the best but you guys why get carried away with all the hype because he beat someone thats not even world class.

I certainly think Murray is top ten at Middleweight. Not sure why he wouldn't be.

Cotto
GGG
Quillin
N'dam
Murray
Lee
Geale
Jacobs
Saunders

Looking at The Rings list they have him at 6 (they still have Sergio Martinez at 4 for some reason).

Respect his honesty.

That's pretty much what I was saying yesterday, that it must be such a nightmare, so exhausting to try and keep Golovkin off you. He's so relentless, great at cutting off the ring, constantly in front of you throwing punches pretty much non stop. If you don't have power to earn his respect, only chance you have is to constantly clinch, which I'm sure can be exhausting as well.

Even clinching is difficult tbh. Ggg was starting to time Murray's clinches by the middle rounds. When Murray would shoot Ggg would step away wrestle free and carry on going to work.

Valiant effort in defeat by Murray. He's earned any reasonable boxing fan's respect. No other middleweight in the world could have beat him like that. But Triple G is just that good.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Murray has no power to keep ggg off him he did good in surviving but he's not a top dog at middleweight

Prior to losing last night, BoxRec had Murray as # 4. I'm not saying that BoxRec is always correct, but I do believe that Murray was at least the # 4 middleweight. I say at least because Cotto was and is # 2, and I'd take Murray any day over Cotto.

So what does that make cotto? Murray arguably beat martinez when he could still fight.

You honestly believe Solimon, geale, fuvkin Taylor are better than Murray?

Exactly. Plus, that's Murray's ranking after he lost to GGG. I'm sure it was higher before the loss.

[FrankieBruno]

its sad how everyone is downplaying Triple G

They deny his skill set...

The guy is clearly a highly elite level skilled boxer...
