    Saunders and Eubank Jr are better than all Barker, Murray, Macklin and Lee.
    Yes I think that is a fair statement.

    Sorry, I don't agree. Better than :
    Lee - BJS yes, Eubank ?
    Macklin - BJS probably, Eubank probably not.
    Murray - BJS possibly , Eubank probably not.
    Barker - BJS doubt it, Eubank no.
    It's ok saying the modern crop are better, but what have either of them done to prove it? The difference is the Barker et al fought the best in the division , HOME OR AWAY, while today's 2 divas just talk about it.
    Can you seriously believe that Barker, Murray, Lee and Macklin would've given up the opportunity to fight the best in the division?
    If it was a hot air blowing competition, these 2 would probably beat Sugar Ray Leonard.

    At least BJS and Junior have fought one another whilst the other 3 avoided domestic fights against one another and got beat by either Sergio or GGG.
