    I don't think anyone has ever preached that he'll be elite, he brings it though, and is a great fighter for the fans and has definate potential to entertain any boxing fan willing to watch. He has taken fights at short notice, Al Hamidi being a prime example, and has been close to going to hell and back John Duddy style due to it I think. He nearly went there with Munguia some time back when he had his debut in the States. Someone like Micky Ward was never elite, but he came to fight and gave (atleast me) some awesome fights that i'll never forget.
    Not saying that mate im just saying he needs to learn some new dimension's, like moving his head. Use his footwork to create angles, use the jab, ETC.

    He's far too one dimensional, and i think he could actually be a better fighter. If he learnt more of the craft, because he's a very sturdy strong guy, and he could be quite a force.

    David Diaz vs John Murray would be a cracking fight, and a decent step up for John Murray.

    Absolutely man, not a dig atall...... I think he could improve too. I also think that more fights and leaving Hennessey would help him learn more too, as he might be able to get more fighhts. Inactivity is killing any potential he may have IMO.

    They have this card being promoted by Barry Hearn on BoxRec. Intrigued to know whether John has left Hennessey.

    No mate it is just that Mick is so fat and fucking shit at his job and hasn't got a tv deal he is letting his fighters get on tv with other promoters.
