Darren Barker to fight Chavez Jr in Mexico

[Dia bando]

Barkers performance against Martinez surely warrants him another title shot? I'm not sure there's many other fighters out there Martinez would have that kind of trouble with. He seems a good bloke also so all the best to him if the fight comes off.

I dont rate him as a fighter, but he come's across as a good bloke i will agree with you on that.?

I'm not saying he's going to be pound 4 pound number one or anything, just thought he proved in that fight he should be fighting at that level now?

Barker doesnt have enough at world level. Martinez isnt even a proper middle. Neither is Williams.

Yes Martinez beat two great fighters, one is a drunk and the other well i would say Mary Poppin's had a better chin.

I would watch the fight. I think it would be an interesting match up. I would give the edge to Barker so it may not make sense to Chavez Jr. His team has worked so diligently to maintain his "0". I would think they would rather go down in a blaze of glory and get a big pay day.

Yes, I'm not sure whether that fight would come off either. It would be Chavez Jr.'s toughest test so far.

I'll be amazed if this fight happens.

Make or break for both though, the loser will lose all credibility in the top 10 at middle and wont see another big fight for a while.

Is this on? Or is it just rumours?
