    Well no but Barker is a completely different prospect to DeGale. As i mentioned Barker has an average defence. Though Smiths pressure was probably not effective against Degale as he got picked off all night by counters and couldnt land any big punches.

    A similar gameplan agaisnt Barker would be much more effective though im not sayin that he should implement the exact same tactics im just saying it would be more competetive.

    Smiths power might be more evident at middle and the fact that he has a solid chin and keeps coming for 12 means that he can definitely cause Barker problems.

    Not saying he wins but just playing devils advocate i think its a good fight. It would easily be the best domestic name either would have on their record it makes sense

    Agree it would be a good fight but just don't think Smith has any chance agaisnt Barker.
