Who do you think would be the hardest fight for Barker-Macklin Duddy or Lee I think Lee would be the toughest as he is the purest boxer of the three.I can see Barker standing off and outboxing Duddy fairly easily Macklin would come down to can Darren handle his power but Andy has the fundementals to make it more of a chess match.
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.
Thats why I made a point of mentioning Macklins power I have a feeling Barker is going to surprise a lot of people I am not sure why but I think he could be pretty special.
Sorry Dunk but Craig McEwan ain't going anywhere fast. Actually thats the problem, he never moves fast.
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 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.
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.
