    i think barker would play the long game against both and show his boxing quality and win UD

    He'd school Murray, that's for sure.

    Big fights aside (what they've both had) i don't rate Murray one bit.

    He outboxes Murray to a UD, not so sure he beats Macklin though, 50/50.

    he beats murray easily i dunno how people though murray beat sturm the weird thing was about that fight is that before it happened murray and hatton etc were talking about what a big middleweight murray is and how he was going to use his physical advantages to his benefit etc he came to the ring the next day weighing 12stone 4 and sturm looked the stronger of the two as he was the one on the front foot and he was the one pressing the issue.
    I think Sturm is harshly treated by boxing critics that jab is second to none.

    i think tactically murray and macklin got it wrong against sturm. sturm seems to love a tear up, and a barker boxing off the back foot win UD for me.

    It's not all that great.

    Macklin was walking straight through it for long parts of their fight.

    It was weird if hed taken a step back he wouldve done better it was weird for a fighter renowned for his jab to not move into a position where he could use it. instead he fought Macklins fight

    Macklin would tear Barker apart. macklin aims to hit what ever he can. Don't think Barker is strong/fit enough to cope

    He'd school Murray, Macklin would probably taking the late rounds against Barker, would be close. Barker is the better boxer easily but Macklin would give him real issues with that style, you need stamina to deal with it.
