Gennady Golovkin vs. Martin Murray

[IamInuit]

GGG offered Sturm a fight a lot of times as far as I'm aware. Quillin fight won't happen because of war, Marrinez is out injured and Marrinezs manager said he had no interest in taking a fight with GGG. It's not like GGG has huge financial backing to get these big fights.

Murray is the "interim" Wba champion which is the exact same thing as the "mandatory challenger" with the only difference being that they decided early in this century to start giving this person a belt. I guess to remind them of their number one position in case they forgot.

Murray is not a fighter full of big paydays and even his venues are limited. Its pretty sad that even the number one contender wont fight the champion and wiggle out of it by using a worthless trinket that is a step below the other one. Hatton logs like a bit of a mug also after watching that press conference that @Fenster posted.

Well that sucks. Basically means neither will have a solid opponent, and that they are both champions for the WBA to boot is a riot. Now I thought Murray beat Sturm and came really close against Martinez, he's a solid fighter. Here's a fun fact though. He won his version of the interm WBA title against a guy who was 12-0 and had fought ONE man with a winning record, who was 8-2. Only fighters make belts worth a damn thing these days.

Hatton doesn't look like a mug if Murray fights for the WBA regular title or is "elevated" to champion. If Murray gets a WBA belt without facing Golovkin team Hatton have played a blinder

Ahh I see yes its all rather confusing with all these buckles floating around. The Wba does not have a regular champion in this division so indeed Murray could be going for the vacant belt. Lets hope its at least a top ten opponent. The Wba was supposed to have the "interim" tattoo removed by the middle of this year so although late perhaps this is one of the steps.
