Nope. I reckon it'd be quite divided. They are of a similiar standard for me. I like Macklin better though

I'm not British but I wouldn't say that Macklin is better or worse than Barker, it's just he's a straight forward brawler and his style suits Martinez a lot better than Barker who is a tall, rangy, crafty technical fighter with a very good jab

I agree with Terrible that Macklin's style matched up better with Sturm but overall, I believe Macklin is a better fighter than Barker..

Macklin will accomplish more as a MW..

After Macklin loses in a brave effort he will fight Barker.

I agree. I imagine it would be a big fight in Britain.

So what about JC, Jr and the dummies at the WBC? Didn't they order Jr. to fight Martinez? Can someone define this puzzle?
