I think a fight with Barker would give even more validity to the claim that Golovkin is the best MW not named Martinez. What do you think?
Golovkin IS the best middleweight. no serious fan could favor sergio in a fight with GGG. Also, i'm not so sure that last nights barker gets beaten by today's sergio. Withthatbeingsaid, GGG KO's barker in 6 or less.
Easy win for GGG .. K.O in round 2 or 3. Barker would be his easiest fight since he trained with Abel Sanchez.
GGG would kill Barker. However, a guy like Geale, with his iron chin and his good defense, could potentially last more than 3 rds.:think
GGG would KO Barker in 5 or less and then everyone claiming Barker has a shot and would validate GGG more would revert to stating that Barker 'wasn't that good anyway' like they did with Macklin and GGG would still be ducked by the big names and criticized by fans that have never stepped in the ring. But, we would get another nice highlight reel knockout. I have no issue's. haha. Curtis Stevens will provide that anyway.
Barker should steer well clear of Golovkin. If he's going down badly hurt from a body shot off Geale what's going to happen against Golovkin? Barker's a decent fighter but he'd be brutalised fighting Golivkin.
The most meaningful fight at 160 is GGG versus Sergio. Either man can beat all the others. Sergio is at the top of the heap and the only real challenge is Golovkin.
