At the moment I think I like the look of John Murray more. His style looks good and was very impressed with his showing on the Reid v Lacy undercard.

Mitchel also looks good and maybe give him another easy one once he's back from injury but then he need to start stepping up in class and fight someone who can put at least a little bit of pressure on him.

I think both a exceptional, its a hard one to judge who is the best because they are quite different both in fighting style and as people.

I think Mitchell possibly has the edge in natural ability, but Murray is exceptional also and seems to fight with more mature shoulders than Mitchell.

Some good British title fights down the road if these guys come through. At the present moment I'd say Murray was the better prospect, though Mitchell can hardly be written off.

Both are undoubtedly talented and very different in style but I think most people would give Murray the edge after his showing in the US.

Both good talents Kevin has fast hands and carries a dig in both hands.
Murray has a good array of punches and boxes with an air of confidence.
To hard to split at the moment but if u look at who has fought the better opposition up 2 now then u would have to say Murray edges it.

Its is probable that he would outgrow them, but Amir Khan is around their weight devision aswell.

Good be intriguing, chances are though that they will never fight each other.

John Murray is an excellent prospect, and when you think he has only been boxing 3yrs amateur and pro it really is exciting to think he has lots and lots to still learn from where he is now.

Kevin Mitchel is class also, I think it will help both that Amir Khan gets all the hype and pressure, they can develop at a better rate and even a loss can be over-looked and built upon ( unless its a KO ) where as if Khan gets a loss

he will see the flip-side of the good hype the papers give him now
