Chavez Jr. Says Barker is Ahead of The Pack For June 22 - Boxing News

Chavez says he wants the fight in Mexico City and says that negotiations to get Macklin in the ring are too difficult.

IMO, this is a suicide mission for Barker if he takes it and the money would have to be amazing in order for him to go. Don't go to Mexico to fight a guy who is massive at the weight. Barker would have to outbox him but he isn't gunna get a decision there. If he really wants to be a world champion and hold the marbles he should target Daniel Geale as I think that's his best chance.
