When Martin steps up he gets beat
Sergio was injured and past it and the same can be said for Sturm
sergio got beat buy a welterweight and Sturm was avoiding big fights and still got beat

He drew with Sturm and most people thought he deserved the win against Martinez. It's not like he gets blown away at world level like Rose did recently.mullenman wrote:When Martin steps up he gets beat
You can talk down his best results all you want, but most of those below him have not fought that level of opposition or have fared worse against them.mullenman wrote:Sergio was injured and past it and the same can be said for Sturm

Re: British Top 30 P4P July 2014
Groves ranking is ridiculous as is Murrays. Neither are top 10, beaten nobody. If we are ranking on potential then I want Callum Smith and Luke Campbell inserted into the top 10

Let's see your top 10.

There is high and there is number three. Murray should be top ten I think but not as high as three. Maybe 6 / 7/ 8. He is not as good as Frampton for a start.
Re: British Top 30 P4P July 2014
Frampton being above Murray would be fine, but what have fighters like Fury, DeGale, Brook or Quigg done to be ranked above him?Ian1973 wrote:There is high and there is number three.

What has Murray done to be ranked above them? You're overpraising him for losses.
Re: British Top 30 P4P July 2014
He drew with Sturm, it wasn't a loss.Ian1973 wrote:What has Murray done to be ranked above them? You're overpraising him for losses.
I've already repeated many, many times what Murray has done to be ranked above them. Do you really want me to mention it yet again?
You're underpraising him for doing very well at world level. What has a chump like Brook done to deserve to be ranked higher than Murray?

I didn't say Brook should be higher than Murray.
LOSING (OK one draw) at world level doesn't necessarily make a better fighter than winning at just below that level. It's like a racehorse being beaten a length in the Derby, it doesn't mean next time out he will win a group two race.
Getting in a rink and losing isn't ACHIEVING anything. I could do that.

A loss is a loss whichever way you dress it up.
You are a one man band here Horse. I would say everyone else can't be wrong but I seem to recall everyone saying the Titanic wouldn't sink, so I won't bother saying that!

Re: British Top 30 P4P July 2014
Crusader, Horse - surely if I was so pro-Froch i would saying what a great scalp he is.
But Froch has better scalps than George Groves and like I have said, how can he enjoy such a lofty position, when he was won nothing at all - and yet a dethroned champion drops like a stone ?
"He looked good before being KTFO" is not an answer.

But surely the manner of Martinez's defeat to Cotto suggests that Murray's loss to Martinez was actually much worse than it looked at the time?Horse wrote:A loss can be brilliant or pathetic. You are vastly oversimplifying things.Ian1973 wrote:A loss is a loss whichever way you dress it up.

Burns has lost his last three fights and looked awful in the fight before that. He's dropped a reasonable amount.G0mez wrote:Crusader, Horse - surely if I was so pro-Froch i would saying what a great scalp he is.

Groves has wins against DeGale, Johnson, Sierra, Smith & Anderson. He was also doing well against Froch in both fights before the stoppages. His record is not devoid of decent results.

Well it's your list fella, but I think "looking good" is not tangible.Horse wrote:Burns has lost his last three fights and looked awful in the fight before that. He's dropped a reasonable amount.

His defeats were far worse than Burns all added together, which whilst he lost, he was competitive until the final bell.

Re: British Top 30 P4P July 2014
I agree with Gomez
Audley harrison was looking good againt Wilder for 10 seconds (Never got hit) before he got tagged Does he qualify for your list because he was looking good![[icon_knockout.gif] :KO:](./images/smilies/icon_knockout.gif)
