    As he won a vacant title Barker will have an imediate mandatory defence.

    Matthew Macklin is ranked no.1 by the EBU is obviously challenging for a World title in June.

    Andy Lee is ranked 2nd. Will Lee and his team pursue the fight or will they stay in the US and push for a world title?

    Gregorz Prozka the British based pole is ranked No.3

    He's already got a fight scheduled in the States. You want him to pull out of that to go chasing a mandatory shot at Barker?

    If he'd any interest at all in the European title he'd have come back across the pond long before now.

    This fight won't happen unless Barker either becomes world champion or Lee gets chinned in the near future.

    Can't see either of those happening for at least a year, probably more.

    Well Slap seems to think Barker has been ducking Lee so, yes.

    It's funny how Slap calls Barker chinny yet Lee was the one who got knocked out by a blown up 154lber who he outweighed by 9lbs on fight night.

    He did duck him, thats not an opinion that is a fact. We've all been through this before but Barker fought Affif Belgacham for the vacant EBU title after Lee had just beaten him and Lee offered to step into the vacant slot that Affif was given.


    Lee has a thread-water fight in a couple of weeks and a HBO date with Vera in August so I cant see an immediate fight with Barker coming off although I know it is a fight that Lee is keen on taking - as is Macklin.

    However, I cant remember the last time I brought that issue up and seen as you only registered your account in April do you want to let us know who you really are?


    From the guy that gave us such unbiased classics like "Irish boxers are ****in ****, end of story!"

    The hypocrisy of the clowns on here, at least Rob and TFFP try and put an argument together but this is simply nonsense. Its interesting to see that anyone that hasnt got their tongue up British fighters rectums are "biased" yet those same posters never call out bull**** like the crap from Jaso et al!

    Interesting that you state Lee is "chinny" despite him never being on the canvas in his career, not even a glove! Maybe Jaso needs to start actually watching fights instead of reading BoxRec. And if he was chinny would that make Barker less chinny? I fail to see your logic.

    But dont let the truth get in the way of a good story - especially on ESBull****!

    I am only speaking the truth and the truth hurts. As of right now there are no good irish fighters. Frampton is your only hope but he has not proved anything yet.

    Affif-Barker was ordered by the EBU i think, Barker did not duck him you are delusional.

    I don't see how that makes it a duck?

    Would pulling out of a fight twice make something a duck?
