    Ha at Sky hyping up Sparda has a top 6 fighter, he is awful and isn't even top 20 in my book.

    Much harder to hit than Macklin is :yep

    Sorry, but Macklin is clearly the No.2 English MW at the moment.

    I forgot about Andy Lee, he also knocks out barker if they fight.

    He didn't get hit a lot, against this limited opponent.

    Luckily Macklin is similarly limited and the times he lands his big left hook is against stiffs like that Finnish dude. He couldn't hit Varon with anything quality who smothered him, Barker will do it in a different way by outboxing him. Macklin's power is severely overrated, Barker doesn't have much either, it will be a decision for Barker. You don't have to believe it and i'm sure you'll delude yourself in the run up due to your hate for Barker which is fine but you'll see.

    Why **** poor??? he outboxed a toughnut in Spada having been out the ring for 12 months. Spada is a come forward brawler who`ll make most boxers look bad its his style, but Barker outclassed him, near the end Spada got desperate. Against different styles Barker will look Top Class.

    The Sky pundits are gushing over Barkers performance as if he just beat Sergio martinez, laughable to say the least.

    Thought Barker did well coming off a long lay off. He boxed beautifully for the first half of the fight but it got really scrappy in the later stages. He's not top level but I'd definitely fancy him over Macklin.
