    I know where your coming from though, he is ranked by the WBA but that is the type of match up Frank Warren would make, let's hope Matchroom aren't thinking that way.

    my current rankings at middle

    Middleweight (160lbs)
    Champion: Sergio Martinez
    2. Felix Sturm (WBA)
    3. Daniel Geale (IBF)
    4. Dimitry Pirog (WBO)
    5. Sebastian Sylvester - Unlikley to come back so soon
    6. Gennady Golovkin (WBA Regular)
    7. Hassan N’Dam N'Jikam (WBA Interim)
    8. Marco Antonio Rubio
    9. Matthew Macklin - Fights Sturm June 25th
    10. Andy Lee - Fights in the US August
    11. Sebastian Zbik (WBC)
    12. Darren Barker
    13. Fernando Guerrero
    14. Peter Manfredo Jnr
    15. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr


    So the only European fighters in the top 15 are invovled in other fights or just coming off a loss.

    Other European fighters ranked by a govering body are...

    Avtandil Khurtsidze - Fights for the IBO June 6th
    Maksym Bursak - Fights May 28th
    Gennady Martirosyan - Fighting Dmitry Pirog in the summer


    Prozska is genuinley the best avalible European.

    Lee cant fight Barker i think, since his last five fights have been in the US. So that rules him out for now.

    Eddie Hearn tweeted saying he's in discussion regarding a world title shot for Darren , lined up for november.

    I replied, proper title or some interim ****.

    He then said certainly no interim stuff!

    Got a feeling Geale could be that man.

    Proska would be a very good fight for both men i think. Ithink its a slight step up on Barkers part if he fights him.

    After he takes the payday fight with Mundine, Geale vs Barker is very good fight.

    Defend his euro and go for Geale later in the year. I think Matchroom would get Geale over no problem.
