Few rumours saying Murray will be offered the Khan fight in April

It makes sense financially. And for boxers that's the no. 1 thing. If Haye-Harrison can be marketed as a big fight in the UK, then this can be marketed in the same way.

I'd like to see it. Besides it will be great to laugh at the haters who will predictably scoff and call this a joke fight claiming Amir is a coward for taking it, all the time being in complete denial of how Khan lost their respect with his shameless dodging of the selfsame fighter a couple years ago.

[No Contest]

The shameless ducking of McCloskey continues. How can you say people would talk shit about a McCloskey fight, then John Murray(a lightweight) is perfectly reasonable? WTF?

There is history between Murray and Khan though. A couple years ago Buncy kept going on and on about how it this would be the biggest fight in Britain since Benn Eubank.

Mcloskey is just virtually unknown on the British fightscene.

It would have been like David Haye fighting Derek Chisora rather than Audley Harrison. Chisora is a much tougher challenge but nobody in Britain has heard of him. Everyone, even grand ma's know who Audley Harrison is.

Good analogy, I hear ya. McCloskey does need to step up, I'm just having trouble seeing steps up, besides maybe Ajose Olusegun. Is Lenny Daws any good, maybe McCloskey needs to come to US as well?

Lenny Daws is a decent domestic fighter, but I don't think he'll get above that level. For McCloskey v Olusegun, I think it would be a horrible fight style-wise....they're both counter fighters. I think a move to the US would be beneficial, more competition and looks at different styles too.

Khan by stoppage.

Could be quite good though. Think Khan would be too strong and quick for him though. Would be funny to see all the Khan haters moaning about him fighting Murray, while conveniently forgetting they were moaning about him ducking Murray just a few years ago.

Murray, huh? From what I hear Warren is offering Kell Brook
