    A few people on here have been saying that Proksa has been offered a fight recently with Andy Lee.

    I have it from the horses mouth that this isn't the case. He also said that if he was offered it this is a fight he would take.

    Cheers.

    So Barker should have no problem taking the fight with the "hype job" then.

    Barker has plenty of trouble taking fights at the moment coz fat mick couldn't organise a prayer in a mosque!!!

    Lets see Andy Lee take challanger money to take the fight??? If he really wants barker and the european title he will take a small cut to make the fight like Rhodes did with Moore.

    and would Lee be prepared to come to London.

    He has the best chance of getting a world title than any of the British or Irish middleweights. He'd absolutely school Sylvester. I have no doubt in my mind about that.

    We'll wait and see how he does. I think he will silence the critics. Definitely those who say Barker would beat him, Barker will get a hiding off Lee.

    Well it probably comes down to who can sell more tickets. Whoever can get a bigger crowd can offer the other guy more money to come over. Can Barker pack em in?

    Anyway, bit of a joke Barker was able to pick up the vacant Euro title so easy when Lee had just beaten the same guy.

    I disagree but would be happy to be proved wrong. I think Barker is the standout.

    Come to London where Barker will struggle to fill a leisure centre when the fight could be held in Ireland in front of 1000's? This is like Dunne and Munroe all over again. Lee is the draw, not Barker that's the way it works as you know.

    If he wants it he should make more of calling Barker out, take the challenger cut and get in there and do his thing.

    :bbb

    Hope this happens. Serious rivalry is being built up between the two. The banter on here after the fight will be class. Some fans are going to be having extra large portions of humble pie. And I don't think it will be me ;)

    Make it happen! :D

    Barker has the title and that is the way it works as you know.

    No it's not how it works, it's who can fill more seats and that's Lee.
