Darren Barker

None of them. The only thing that would halt Barker is his own chin, because we don't know a lot about it and he's been down before.

 

Craig McEwan.

 

Sorry Dunk but Craig McEwan ain't going anywhere fast. Actually thats the problem, he never moves fast.

 

I agree that Barker may be a little bit special. We need to see a step up in class this year.

 

I think Macklin would be the toughest.

 

I really think he'll go places , I definitely feel he's a bit slept on versus some of the other guys coming through at the minute.

 

It's because of his competition to be honest. It's soft at best, if you're being brutally honest it could be descibed in far harsher terms. I think its about time he steps it up a notch and fights one of the guys mentioned in this thread to see where he is.

 

I think Barker would beat Duddy

Not so sure about Lee

But I think that Macklin would destroy Barker

 

Until Barker steps up in class I reserve my judgement.

 

I give barker a lot of **** on here but i do rate the mans boxing skills , he just needs to stop calling macklin out and fight a european ranked fighter if he cares about his legacy, he doesnt need macklin to get himself noticed on the world stage, if barker fought mahir oral, lukas konechy, laujan simon, khoren gevor etc... a win against any of these guys will get you a high european or world ranking and would provide barker with a true test to measure his skills against a valid opponent.

 

Agreed

 

macklins constant pressure and power would be a true test of his skills

 

I think Barker has the potential to be better than all those mentioned but he really does need a step up in class. Its a shame the Elcock fight never happened because that would have been a decent guage.
