Darren barker, yes or no?

[Beanz]

Geale & Quillin would both beat Barker

Neither would last 12 rounds with him.

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.

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...

Yes I am British and have no objectivity at all. I just blindly follow my jingoistic tendencies and ignore all evidence that contradicts this. Thank you for such a wonderful insight.

Is there anyone Chris Eubank Jr hasn't duffed up sparring? ()

Barker would have a great chance against Geale. There's not much in their form and if Barker can go 11 rounds with Martinez he can outbox Geale over the distance.

Makes sense, you keep saying Barker will stop fighters that noone else has stopped and the only reason that comes to mind is he is British and you are British. Barker is not a big puncher and to suggest he will stop guys who are a huge step up in class is just silly.

I have no doubt barker won't fight any of these guys because he won't take a risk and will continue to fight bums so u won't be proven wrong

I agree, I just don't think he is all that. Sturm was a decent boxer, but ran from good fights and lost a few title fights only to be awarded gift decisions. Sylvester wasn't world class. Good wins, but not great wins, and I think Barker would beat both. Geale is a decent boxer but I think Barker will walk through him if they fought. Barker is an excellent boxer too so I just don't see Geale causing Barker problems.

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.

Will Eddie Hearn take a risk and pay enough to get somebody like Geale or Quillin to fight in England? Barker probably wouldn't sell enough tickets to make it viable and I don't think Hearn believes in him enough to come up with the money.

Barker has a good chance against Geale.

Hearn's already had fighters, in the past two years, challenge for world titles abroad on other promotions.

Whether he stages the fight or not, unlike FW, it looks like his fighters will take their chances.
