Yes he is. But he is still well known and respected worldwide in boxing circles. Its a decent fight on paper.

an before ossyrules comes in to say it a 5th time, yes, jacobs is better than lem. doesnt mean its not a fun matchup. sure as hell would be better than jacobs last one

Haha fair do’s

Jacobs on decision, possibly gets him out there late. Murray had a good go at 160 and with a bit of luck would have been world champ. Gutsy showing vs golovkin too. Feel his go at 168 was overall a bad move in hindsight. Yes he almost got a world title vs past it abraham, but that was pretty opportunist. Groves showed what a prime 168er does too him.

Now he’s back at 160 and I feel like he’s kinda done fighting the very best. Only fight id put him in with us Saunders as it’s a domestic match up and Saunders doesn’t really dish out much damage

I agree totally with this. But its all about the money mate. Martin probably knows he cant compete at this level anymore. But he also knows hes still a name at world level and he can still earn decent money. So good luck to the lad

Oh yeah I totally agree mate. If he can earn a crust then batter in!! As fans it's a bit of a slap on the balls though!

dont think jacobs would get much respect for beating murray. maybe if he bombed hm out quick. murrays stock was highest after the martnez fight but the years have gone on without him really dong much.

2/3 years ago maybe.. but yeh.. not now..

I'm surpised with the 'decision' votes.. i was one of them.. this is cleary based on Jacobs vsz Arias.. had this poll been before the fight.. i could see the majority voting stoppage.

If Hearn gives Murray to Jacobs then it's a frickin pals act and all he's doing is taking Jacobs back the way! Jacobs proved he's top level in the GGG fight and he needs to be matched as such!

You could be right but if Murray is one thing it’s that he’s hard as fack, and if someone’s going to put him away, you’d have to beat him up badly and you might get him late like golovkin
