The only true credible source for how good a boxer someone in comparison to another is through someone who's fought them both. Murray is a greater expert on this topic than any of us. And that's high praise for GGG, since Murray was utterly dominated in that fight...you would think that he'd harbor sour g****s against GGG for that loss. But more respect to him who can respect his opponents like that.Comment

Yeah, Murray is a very calm, smart and tough fighter.Golovkin at this point is the only one to clearly beat Murray. Murray like Herrera got robbed of being lineal champ in their division. He more than deserved that decision against Martinez. I thought he beat Sturm and Abraham as well. Golovkin dominating Murray is a damn good and underrated win.
Dude always fought busy and clean, landing accurate combinations, I thought he won those fights too, he definitely outboxed Sturm.
I think Martin was just fighting too much "euro" lacking head movements, and getting hit by straight punches too often.
Couldn't work against a guy like GGG, GGG was a very bad match up for him.
The guy who will beat GGG will be a man with a damn good D fighting on his bike.
Or maybe a bigger and tricky guy (again with a good D) like Ward grinding GGG in the Inside.
GGG loves mid ranges.
So def not a guy standing mid distance in front of him like Murray fights.
I don't know if Murray will beat Groves, Murray had decent power at 160, but at 168 he just seems to lack the explosiveness to keep a guy like Groves quite,
160 to 168 is one of the biggest jump in boxing, 8 pounds.Comment
