Thoughts? is this another easy fight to further hype 3G :?
 
Undefeated middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin will defend his WBA belt against British contender Martin Murray on Feb. 21 in Monte Carlo, promoters Ron Berman of Golden Gloves and Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions announced on Saturday.
 
The bout be televised on HBO in the U.S.
 
With Golovkin (31-0, 28 knockouts) at ringside on Saturday, Murray (28-1-1, 12 knockouts) won a seventh-round technical decision victory over Domenico Spada at Salle des etoiles, Monte Carlo. Golovkin, 32, will pursue the 13th defense of his belt.

“Murray is generally regarded as the best middleweight outside the world champions,” said Berman. “As we all know, he’s a world champion without a belt. He won’t be intimidated for one second fighting ‘GGG’, unlike all of Golovkin’s challengers.”

The win by Murray, 32, was his was his fourth straight since losing a unanimous decision to then-RING champion Sergio Martinez, whom he dropped in Round 8 of a failed bid to earn the WBC belt in April 2013.

Murray is a good fighter and not hyped by anyone other than Slayers mind :pms he gets severely beaten though, they are worlds apart in quality. Having said that I would make that claim against 99% of the potential opposition he could face, the man is a machine!!

only one guy wants to fight him, Ward . shame 160 is in such a weak era that a natural junior welter is lineal champeen.

 

these same forum warriors who call out others to task about not challenging guys above their weight class give 3G a free pass .

 

, for him to go down is ok but others get ripped if they dont go up  :meh
