    Hard to say. Each fighter has different attributes but I think Murray has it in him to make Golovkin work harder for the stoppage, inevitable though it may be. He seems bigger and rangier, though that might not be true and he has fought world class opposition before, both times giving a great account of himself.

    Murray is strong and tough , his lack of power and his durability will make for a very painful night ending in a KO.

    Better than the rest, but in reality, still gets beat.

GGG is very professional and technically very good, something that is overlooked because of his power. He's also a bit of a stalker and by the later rounds (if it gets that far) Murray will have had to swallow a lot of leather . Absorbing punches is way more tiring than punching people.
    I'm not saying he won't land some of his own, but I also think GGG can take a dig. that was proved in the Geale fight. When he threw the knockout blow, Geale also hit him with a peach of a punch that had no impact whatsoever. So he can get hit and is human.
    I don't like getting too down on Murray's chances because like I said before, I really like Murray and applaud the fact that he doesn't think twice about taking the fight. That in itself gives him more credit than most in the divison. He could arguably win a title against some of the other champs, so the best of luck to him.
    However , the facts are the facts and I don't understand how people can doubt GGG's ability. I think it's because the media go a little bit overboard, but he's a very exciting talent.
    I really hope Murray proves me wrong, and even if he doesn't , I hope that one day he does pick up a title.

    I read a bit of the article and i agree with the bit i read, murray needs his hands up and needs to be moving forward

    and he needs to throw punches in range, even shorten the range

    i think he can impress if not win

    Putting it bluntly - I think Murray has looked crap since the Sergio fight and i'm now convinced his great performance was down to Sergio being shot-to-bits. He's probably tougher/better/smarter than the other Golovkin victims but he won't offer much in danger to him.
