Barker you feckin fraud!!!

Not really because Sylvester is not my idea of a world class middleweight regardless of the belt. Fighters make the belts. Sylvester has been fighting on the European merry-go-round of middleweights. Asikainen, Castillejo, outclassed by Sturm, and so on. You couldn't really say Sylvester has a single world class victory.

There are better middleweights coming through than Matthew Macklin. If they get to a title before him he'll have no chance. If they don't he'll keep the belt warm, just don't let him near a Kelly Pavlik, Williams or Martinez.

 

chill out barry, i couldnt give a **** who wins between them anyway, im a fan of all 3, as long as theyre in good fights im happy. pointing out how ridiculous this thread is
****

 

Just because they may not be at elite level, I don't see why we cant argue about who is better. :conf

If boxing were done right those guys would be facing each other 2-3 times year for the European title, beating lumps out of each other to see who was the best out of the lot.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Cry baby *****. :good


I think I have made my position clear on Barker tonight if you care to read.

You are probably the most racist person on ESB at times.


Shame Frenchie did not get the nod....sure you would have had more fun. Maybe next time.

 

Barker will be a complete fraud when he gets stopped by a Texan journeyman

 

In my books, if you win a world title, you are world level. If you defend it consitantly against top challengers you are elite. I know there are better middleweights coming through than Macklin, never said there wasn't, not did I say he was the best. In fact, imo, the best middleweight, Golovkin, isn't even a champ. I said Macklin can step up at world level and get a belt. And I stand by that. I also give him a chance against any chinny fighter he faces too.

 

Andy lost vera and messed his career up for sure but he kos barker and everyone knows that now.

 

Barker > Vera

So therefore Barker stops Lee sooner than Vera did. Only legitimate scenario that fight could have. But with some hard work Lee could be competitive with Barker for sure

 

everyone knows it?

tell it to the European Champion of the World Dazzling Darren Barker.

(holders of this belt also include Audley A-Force Harrison and Mad Matt Hatton)

 

Lol some craic you daft brits.....
stick to your good fighters real men like froch and hatton
, barker is rubbish.

 

How long are you boxing fan?

Have you not realised that boxing doesn't work like that. If A beat B and B beats C then A will beat C. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.

If that is you rational for Barker beating Lee your argument is pathetic.

 

I don't think Sylvester is a yardstick for world class. Yes by definition one could claim that technically he's world class because he's won a world title but its smoke and mirrors more than anything when all you've done is beat Sylvester because Sylvester's claim to world class is built on a fraudulent foundation.

Macklin might just be chinny himself IMO. I've got a feeling he doesn't take that great of a shot at middleweight having watched him against Ajetovic. He didn't convince me he was that durable under fire in that fight and he's had early nights since. Who knows how he'll actually be when tested.

You've mentioned one guy yourself, Golovkin would spank him easily.

 

14 Weeks, I like it as a sport, I might stick with it.
