    being fair to murray, it obviously wasnt a pomp sergio but it was a while before the fight with cotto and closer to his good performances, and murray was away from home in a country that is less than in love with the english

    Murray doesn't really impress me at all, he's easy prey for Golovkin and will be stopped mid way.

    He never seems to get out of second gear and just plods about and has his moments sometimes firing off half hearted non sustained attacks.

    Golovkin will completely destroy him.

    I thought Murray could have nicked that fight, I was impressed by his attitude and his performance, but I now think it's pretty obvious the injuries were hampering Sergio bigtime.

    I don't think Golovkin will blast him out early, but being a non-puncher, and one-paced, Murray will have to go some to get a sniff of beating him.

    Sergey Khomitsky (better than his record suggests), who he struggled with twice, turned him into a staggering drunk in their first fight.

    i watched the second Khomitsky fight and he didnt exactly struggle with him

    i cant remember watching the first, ill see if i can find it tho

    thing is if GGG flatterns Murray early then it will be very impressive

    the geal fight was very impressive, doing the same to murray would edge it i think

    Yeah I agree. I thought he struggled a bit with Khomitsky, in the first fight he was hurt bad, he spent minutes doing an impression of someone totally blotto.

    Murray is worse than Geale and less dangerous than Stevens.

    But he's better than Ishida and the pathetic Rubio.

    Murray Beats Geale and Stevens. And Rubio was clearly outclassed, but he weighed a good 20lbs heavier than GGG on fight night.

    Murray has kept himself busy and not looked spectacular. I am sure he will raise his game against GGG and is the best fighter GGG has faced but still not good enough. I think Murray would beat Cotto, Taylor but not Quillin.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    About the same I would say.

    Murray is a huge middleweight & that in itself might present a test for Golovkin, but ultimately, that size counts for nothing if you don't have the power to go with it.

    GGG will win by stoppage.
