    Why Mexico city? Let me guess at the last minute they will compromise and move the fight to Texas. Jr will be unable to piss in a cup because of diuretics and claim it to be dehydration and will be 200 pounds the night of the fight.

    Hahaha.... I would say you're psychic... but you're not exactly going out on an unstable limb here.

    Brutally honest, Hearn states that the risk is too high for Barker-Golovkin:


    A bit strange how he refers to Proksa, right?

    Apparently, Junior wants a 164 pound catchweight, and that is why Macklin so far has turned it down.

    Good thing too.

    If Barker can make good money he should do it but as you have all said I would prefer him to fight our local fighters but if not that then fight Geale or even GGG.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Catchweights can't mean shit to someone who routinely comes in at a drug-aided weight of more than 20 pounds over the weigh-in limit.

    Just move up already. Jose will probably just create another division.

    Lot of fighters claim they want the big fights. This is a good chance to see if some actually mean it. Outside of Martinez, there is no bigger fight for Barker than Chavez. He should do everything he can to make the fight happen. He won't win. But he'll be paid well for the ass kicking he'll get

    You have to bear in mind that Proksa is a Pole based in England, he has no fanbase, following and would never establish one here. He's never headlined a show and got beat by Kerry Hope on his first big TV outing. That's why he was chucked in with GGG after getting "exposed"

    Not to be patronising - but it's just about what you sell in this business

    I hear that, but at the end of the day, he is still Proksa's promoter. It sounded borderline disparaging.

    Yeah... cause Proksa doesn't offer him anything anymore. He's a promoter.
