There is only one guy who has been a pressure fighter & jumped numerous weightclasses & that is Henry Armstrong. No one before or since has really managed it & John Murray is no Henry Armstrong. You could maybe make an argument for Jake LaMotta, but he was always a big welterweight who grew into the middleweight he was & was more comfortable for it.

Again & this is no disrespect to Murray but those are two genuinely great fighters who were also much stronger punchers. Fair enough you think that Murray could beat Ortiz but it took you nearly 5 pages to offer up that you think Murray's pressure would break him, all the while acting like you had some insight that no one else had thought of. No one is 'upset' by your comments, but if your going to position yourself somewhere in a debate you have to give something to back up your argument.
