    Martin Murray has never been dropped before GGG

    GGG looked bad in spells, but we also need to realise that Murray is a solid fighter. To expect an early KO/TKO with someone who hasn't been dropped before is unrealistic.

    Pac won't KO Mayweather for example.

    He doesn't have to... What if Pac knocks Floyd down 3 times?

      If Manny knocks down Floyd twice early then once late then stops him via TKO, you think anyone will be saying Manny got hit too much in the fight? People just need something to complain about that's all

        It was a great performance on GGG's part against a solid fighter and top 160lber who arguably could have been an unbeaten unified champion who had also never been floored.

          So true. Ggg could have beat him within the first round and people would say, "what took him so long?" You can't win with people who hate other fighters for no reason.

            GGG looked great in that fight. It was an amazing performance. Yeah, he got hit a few times...its boxing and he is constantly applying pressure. Not one punch seemed to even make him blink though.

              Anything is possible, and I am a fan of Manny, but he couldn't put Bradley down, he won't Floyd IMO. He got Mosely down which was pretty bad ass though.

              As for GGG and Murray, I felt it was a good performance, but he will lose to Ward and easily.

                Khomitsky dropped Murray in their first fight.

                  I can't say I have followed Murray to know. However without being a Box rec warrior, I have just looked and theirs no KD there. I got the info from Murray himself in an interview. Now I may be wrong so apologies.

                    Ref ruled a KD, but Murray said he disagreed with it in some interview. If he said he's never been knocked down, that's probably the reason. There's no video so it's hard to say if it was legit or not.
