Well he has destroyed a veteran in Jon Thaxton.....so who's it next Mezzache or Khan
He doesn't seem drained at lightweight he should stick around imo.

no point chasing khan and wasting the best years ofhis life. he should win the euro get himself into a mandatory position and win a title and then he'll have khan over a barrel
If he can get the fight then Khan, if not then Frenchy.

euro title shot next i think
That Mezache dude is a great opponent for him, its a natural progression. The guy couldn't punch at all, he's no threat to Murray really. He was a bit awkward and a good mover which might pose a few problems but really Murray should deal with that and get the job done comfortably.

Go straight for Mezaache.
Leave Khan and concentrate on your own career.

apparently they tried to make the Khan fight (khans camp that is) so he could probabily get that fight but i think Khan beats him, Murray is far to slow, flat footed and stationary for Khan, it'd be slightly similar to kotelnik with khan potshoting, pappering the guard and then going away.
I don't know how long he can stay at 135 it doesn't look like he makes it that comfortabily so might need to move up, the euro title for his next is the best option right now though.
I've heard he might be having problems with henny

Let's hope he gets that Euro shot soon. He was brilliant last night, but somewhat robbed of his moment of glory by the premature stoppage. Plenty more glory nights to come, though, I feel. Murray is becoming a complete fighter.

Khan is fighting on a level very few mortals can even imagine so I doubt Murray wants anything to do with him.

Do it the right way Murray, a European title then a world title shot down the line.
No point in chasing Khan, he'd be avoided like the plague.

Murray should now go for the Euro title. He has time on his side and should have a world title shot in the next 12-18 months. I was very impressed with him last night. He was in the best shape I've seen him, good defence and obviously has very good power at the weight.
Khan is on a different level altogether now and unfortunately I don't think we'll ever see Murray step into the ring with him.

I would like to see him fight Mezzache before the end of 2009. I think that if he is to step up to world level then he will need all the help he can get and having a lot of momentum on his side would be a huge help, the last thing he needs after a performance like that is 4/5 months out of the ring. Strike while the rod is hot he didn't take much punishment yesterday so why not have him out in December against Mezzache and if he wins earley there have him out again in March.

Murray can't beat Khan. Look at the way he struggled with McAllister in the early rounds, with Thaxton in the opening round yesterday, even Lawton gave him a bit of trouble early on when he was trying to stick-and-move. Khan is a far better boxer than any of those and far quicker and at a far higher level now. Murray can't deal with boxers. At least with Mezaache, he might draw him into a fight like Thaxton did.

As much as I would like to see Murray fight Khan because I don't believe the hype about Khan, Murray is a lightweight for now and should focus on his division. Get the Euro fight and then look at competing at world level. Mick seems to like doing it the old fashioned way and taking on real champions so he could take a while to adjust instead of just picking up a paper title like Khan but let's see if he can compete at the top level. Just hope he somehow manages to get on the tv whilst doing it which sadly is no guarantee.
Euro shor definitely. Murray is strong but right now khan would beat him. Murray dont move his head enough and is far too stiff. I hate to say i but Khan would pick him apart.

that McAllister guy laid the foundation on how to beat Murray, speed and footwork, if the guy had a little more stamina the fight wouldve ended differently imo

What hype dont you believe? Khan's a World Champion. He fought a good operator in Kotelnik. I dont understand when ppl laud Murray yet always knock someone who has actually achieved something special.

I don't see Khan as on another level to Murray. Roach hasn't transformed him into the new Pernell Whitaker, to me he's still the same guy who was knocked down by Gomez, nearly beaten by Limond and KO'd by Prescott and I still think Murray can beat him.

One thing for sure is that it wont be Khan.
Khan wont be fighting anyone who can hurt him.
****** will be protecting his cash cow with WBU type fighters (and there are enough out there) for the rest of his career.
The only thing is that Khan does not even have the chin to be able to still be able to defend that title for the next 2 years without suffering another sickening KO defeat.
My words are a prophecy.
Prescott is a colombian road sweeper for gods sake and he iced khan in under 90 seconds...

In terms of targeting a world title, I'd like to see him get a shot at WBA holder Paulus Moses, who throws lots of punches & is fit but doesn't seem too sharp. And obviously Katsidis, who I believe won some kind of interim belt in dominant win over Escobedo. With the GBP connection, with HBO televising Katsidis' bouts, then this looks the more rewarding.
The question is, what to do, to get Murray technically, physically ready for such bouts. And also, what fights to take, that will get him ranked as a top contender.
The EBU title sounds logical, Murray being mandatory. However, a slight hiccup? Rumours that McAllister has landed a shot at Mezaache.
I'd love to see Murray-Romanov. OK, no obvious reward, no belt, and YR's a deadly accurate puncher. However, YR has low workrate, struggles when backed up, and has been inactive for ages. You beat Yuri, and it's better than beating the EBU champ, YR is the best in Europe, and some of the sanctioning bodies will recognise a guy that beats YR. YR great bridge from Euro to world class... It would obviously mean a lot in British boxing, given YR's record v British fighters.
Would love to see Murray win a world title belt, and defend v Prescott one day!

Euro's then go for Alex Arthur I reckon. Arthur would give him something different to think about without having too much pop at LW to really trouble him.
He needs to forget Khan and stick to Lightweight. Chasing Khan around will make him end up looking like Witter (or Froch early doors).
Carve out your own career and then let them come knocking for you.
I like Murray alot. I can see the criticisms (plodder, too slow etc) but I think his intelligence makes up for an awful lot. Plus fighting someone like Arthur would allow him to adapt his game a little but in a relatively risk free environment.
I really think Murray, if he develops in the way we expect will have a cracking career and (depending on how the division looks in five years or so) he really does have World title potential.

good idea, but arthur has a thyroid problem and can't fight below light welter. damn shame, with arthur as a former "world champion."
i wouldn't mind seeing murray beat gavin rees - might help his world ranking, and it keeps him the lonsdale belt.
re katsidis - murray is a very promising fighter. katsidis looked good beating escobedo, but john murray is an excellent prospect.

Didnt know that. Thanks, must have missed that news. Shame for AA as well, cant see him doing much at light welter.
