    This thread :lol:

    Of the three I'd say Lee.... he crossed an important frontier for me in his last fight despite looking a bit off. They need to get him the right fights in the next 12-18 months to bring him on, I'm not sure a rematch with Vera is what he needs.

    Barker looked good on Saturday against an opponent who to be honest was a bit of a letdown, once he realised Barker was up for it he resorted to rabbit punching.... when that didn't work he was nearly done a favour by the three blind mice.

    Macklin to me is mediocre, he's spent far too much time switching camps and was absolutely dreadful last time out. Even though Sturm isn't great he's got enough to do a number on Matt for me.

    Ive gone for lee just because he is slightly more proven on the world stage. Macklin i have the least faith in - hes looked pretty average since he won that euro strap.

    You're struggling with the concept. It's "who has the best chance..." not "which one will win..." :good

    We'll see two of the three boyos sharing the ring at some stage down the line I'm sure. Just have to wait and see.

    I think Lee has the required qualities to go the furthest of the three. Also he's a much bigger name than the other two which will always help his chances of getting a title shot.

    barker is slightly good the others are not its funny how macklin pussied out of an ass whopping from winky wright, wrights 40 years old and still would have stood him on his head and match maker joe ghallager knew that as well. and dont get me started on andy lee he was losing a fight to mcewan the same craig mcewan who was given all he could handle from fighters who are considered gatekeepers and journeyman

    moore was no mug and that fight could have gone either way, as soon as Barker is put under that sort of pressure he will fold a lot quicker than Macklin did on the night.

    As for saying Lee took a beating off Vera :patsch indeed...

    Well seeing as though they are all of similair enough level and Macklin actually has a world title fight lined up, I will say Macklin.

    Lee closely followed by Barker. Both could beat the Germans.

    Dunno about Macklin though, he's rubbish.
