Murray, Macklin and Barker are all world class middleweights. Its a poor division but they are amongst the top end of it.
Vanes should be the talking point and not me. I tipped Hernandez on points on the show before the fight. Deano's inside knowledge between rounds is terrific - you have to listen. The three British Middles are world class. That was a long, long night. Adios and thanks.
I think Macklin and Barker (possibly the best of the bunch) are just about world class in a very weak division lacking depth of proven quality. I don't think Martin Murray is in any way shape or form, he's just a strong, tough kid. Got beat by Sturm clear enough. However I don't think they're that good at all, neither can punch. Macklin has little skill and is all heart and grit whereas Barker has skill but doesn't have an extra gear to catapult him above contender level. There are quite a few unproven guys out there that I have the feeling would smash them both.
bunce acts paranoid. i dont know why your mentioning glenn mcCorys name, Mccory licks allot of ass, but bunce talks allot of rubbish. common? He literally deminishes rubio as a nobody and say ''now we know whos the best in mexico and theres 10 other fighters between rubio and martinez'' Really? does the bufoon seriously believe someone like sturm,macklin, martin murray or barker would have an easy time with rubio. macklin and co haven't done anything amazing, macklin made his last fight look close sturm pretty much won that fight by landing the more telling blows.
the british middleweights ARE world class..barker the best of them and wud take him to beat chavez jr all day long!
