Sturm v Macklin would be better

I'd love to see Sturm v GGG but more chance of the pope converting to Islam than that one :(

True, but I get the impression that Sturm likes to do just enough to nick rounds whereas Murray can sometimes look slow and ponderous - I can't imagine that this is a deliberate tactic.

I think murray's a bit big for the weight, whereas sturm, as you say, does just enough - saves his energy for the next fight, especially at home.

would like to see one of these up the pace and the variety.

this is murray's 3rd chance so I'd like to see him really go for it.

Nothing no shame in that

Why cant somebody just be happy to be one of the 4 main belt holders
Its a way of devaluing a fighters achievements. It works when you have someone who doesn't like a fighter for whatever reason.

'Froch ain't never been number one, Ward is better'

Unfortunately for them, being 2nd best in a division behind the 2nd best fighter across the whole sport doesn't make for a bad fighter :lol:

Calzaghe ruled a much weaker division. He would be second best to Ward too.

Murray sounded very unhappy on the Bunce show last night. Said basically he didnt know what was going on was kept in the dark and wasnt even told about the Quillin offer.

During his "reign", Calzaghe was clear number one for two years at the most.

From the Lacy fight until he moved up to light heavy.

Rainford should have cheered him up by now with this exclusive.
