will darren barker win a world title?

Macklin KO2 Barker

Lee KO4 Barker

Duddy KO6 Barker

:deal

 

his last fight he got a glowing write up in boxing news but watching it (and im no expert) i thought he looked poor. he didnt have the power to discourage his opponent and for me he ran out of ideas towards the end and was content to survive and he was getting put under pressure. he knocked down mcdermot and tht ref stopped fight but doesnt he lay gas mains for a living...i would expect a contender to convincingly handle part time fighters. he defo has skills but for me not the all round qualities of a champion

 

Yes he will .... hes not the finished article yet and he will have learnt alot from the Belghecham fight .... all aboard the Barker express !

 

yea i think he will. remember he only had 3 weeks notice for the frencman

 

Barker is better than he showed in that fight. But he still isn't good enough to get a title imo. I think a similar fighter to that French guy who is more ferocious would stop him. Someone like Lemieux would be a nightmare for him imo.

 

not seen much of him bjut from what im reading he's pretty impressive

 

He fights like Tyson. He's short for his weight division. Very hard puncher. Still needs polishing but he can easily finish a fight with a good blow to the body. Very exciting to watch. Devastating left hook. :hey

I like Barker but i dont think he will do.

 

Nope.

 

My honest opinion at the moment is NO !!!!! , but like Mitchell i havent completley written him off just yet ..............

 

Much agreed, golovkin is a very classy boxer with very good power in both hands. I think golovkin and jacobs are the 2 guys who will go on to dominate this division for a good few years. Sylvester will be beaten as soon as he faces a live body.

 

not with the current crop of champs. he'll lose every round against martinez!

 

and the frenchman had longer notice?

 

1) did i say that

2)are we debating the frenchman

:hi:

 

1) did I say you did?

2) I know we are not - but you brought up the topic of notice and he had exactly the same notice as the Frenchman (who mullered him btw)
