    Be a *******, try and get Murray/Macklin as main support.

    the undercard of Macklin-Martinez in MSG in March would be even better.

    You sound like Bobby Palmer with these fantasy cards.

    Nothing fantasy about it.

    DiBella has already partially hinted at it.

    I don't think this fight would be a particularly exciting spectacle. Macklin would be make a better fight for both of them

    Lee v Martinez on Paddys day with Macklin v Barker on undercard.
    Lee has proven last night that he deserves a crack at Martinez and would have a better chance than Macklin!!!

    Very hard to argue with your point but personally I'd prefer to see Macklin-Martinez and Lee-Barker.

    I reckon Macklin is best placed and more experienced at this stage of their respective careers (Macklin/Lee) to beat Martinez and I'd like to see Andy face Barker with the various history between them. Macklin has held the European belt so many times now there's nothing to be gained by seeing him fight for it again.

    Having said all of that - I reckon Lee-Martinez would be more likely to happen given that Lee is more well known on the other side of the Atlantic.

    Hang on a minute,
    Does Di Bella also promote Manfredo? With the amount of middleweights in his stable he could have his own prizefighter! He also has a good business relationship with Hearn so there are lots of options.

    He also has Vera, no matter what happened last night there was still some big days in store for Di Bella

    Lee outboxed him in the amateurs. In the pros he brings more power to the table. They are similar fighters. Lee is slightly better offensively though imo.

    I've no idea how you think Barker would **** it tbh.
