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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Barker stops Geale,Quillin, N'jikam, Lee or Proska. Not UD. TKO or KO. Rantcatrat is right about Golovkin, he stops Barker, but not the other middleweights that people are suddenly ascribing super powers too.

    Barker exposes Quillan as being more of a Milky Bar kid than a Kid Chocolate. Cracks him like a kinder egg with no surprise gift needed.

    Barker has a good chance against Geale.
    Let's see if Hearn thinks so.

    And they've all lost. You make money as a promoter by getting your guys big fights they can win in front of big crowds in events you promote. You take a punt on your guys and pay foreign world champions to come to England and fight your guy when you think your guy can win, which is what Warren's MO has been. Then you cash in promoting your world champion.

    Hearn seems quite willing to send his guys abroad to be the opponent fighter on other promoters' bills. The only guy he's so far put the money up to do that with if Froch for the Bute fight and he was helped by the fact that Bute was desperate to fight in Nottingham.

    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

    Either way it's irrelevant to us boxing fans, right? Why would you care what the promoter makes?

    Surely we just want to see the best match-ups, and if that means British fighters chancing their arm abroad that's a good thing? Please let this finally be the end of the Warren mismatch model
