    I'm thinking the complete opposite

    Barker doesn't hear the final bell against either

    It is not unrealistic to suggest we may well have the chance to find out at some point.

    Lets hope so, I think Barker against either guy is an entertaining scrap!

    Barker is talented and I prefer him to fight the domestic world class fighters we have such as Macklin.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Depends who he fights. If he fight Qillin or Golovkin, I think he'll come up short. If he fights Geale, I think he'll win a world title. Really don't buy into Geale at all.

    Geale is a very good fighter, doesn't do anything special but very well rounded

    Winning 2 trinkets in Germany is no easy feat...

    Golovkin walks him down and stops him.

    I'm not sold on Quillin. He knocked N'Jikam down multiple times, but nearly every round that he wasn't knocked down, N'Jikam won. N'Jikam is good, however. I think that is a winnable fight for Barker, not saying he wins it, but he has a decent shot.

    Geale would probably outpoint Barker. Geale can box, but I also can see Barker beating Geale up.

    Basically, he has no shot against Golovkin, but I give him a good chance against the other titleholders.

    Do u watch boxing. Quillin make mince meat o barker and Geale wins a wide decision. Suggesting Barker wins inside the distance is moronic. He is fighting bums and still doesn't have a good KO %. He is a European level fighter and will not win a proper world title. Proksa would be a good test for him

    I commend you on your great sense of humour and send my condolences for the absence of any sound boxing judgement.

    I presume your British and completely blinded by the limited skills they have and get shown up at world level. Probably one of the fools who gave Hatton a chance against Mayweather and Pacman.

    Quillin is faster, stronger,slicker and a better all round fighter then Barker. I see barker being competitive for 4/5 rounds before Quilling gets him on the back foot and starts to dominate.

    Geale is stronger and has a better work rate. Barker, you could argue has the better skills, but he won't have the power to keep Geale off him and Geale will break him down and win a UD, perhaps making Barker quit in a late round.

    I'd rather bet money on Bob Barker.
