Darren Barker to fight Chavez Jr in Mexico

[Rantcatrat]

I would watch the fight. I think it would be an interesting match up. I would give the edge to Barker so it may not make sense to Chavez Jr. His team has worked so diligently to maintain his "0". I would think they would rather go down in a blaze of glory and get a big pay day.

Yes, I'm not sure whether that fight would come off either. It would be Chavez Jr.'s toughest test so far.

[Taffturner]

Think chavez jr is an easier fight than martinez for barker, no one gave barker a chance in hell against martinez (myself included!) and he did well, maybe he could pull it off against jr??

I think Barker could beat JCC Jnr but maybe this is a way of stepping up a bit in competition for JCC Jnr and testing how he gets on in comparison with Martinez.

[monzon]

Barker's Britain's best middleweight, in my opinion. I don't think he'd struggle with Macklin. In fact, Martin Murray may even be a trickier fight for him.

I've seen enough of Chavez Jr to think Barker would have a chance, but whether he'd have quite enough, especially in Mexico, i'm not sure.

I'll be amazed if this fight happens.

Make or break for both though, the loser will lose all credibility in the top 10 at middle and wont see another big fight for a while.

Is this on? Or is it just rumours?

[ElTerribleMorales]

Jr isn't gonna fight shit, he'll probably take on fucking Yory Boy Campas or Alfonso Gomez next

it would be a good fight. Barker put on a good performance against Martinez, while Chavez imo showed great potential in his last 2 fights, if he boxes smartly and doesn't get into brawls. Chavez is young and still learning how to behave in the ring. Chavez UD , as the fight would be in Mexico and Chavez always gets the upper hand with the judges in close fights

I had manfredo winning the fight before JCC jnr stopped him, not impressed with Junior at all.

are you serious? Did you really have Manfredo winning?

[FinitoElDinamita]

Jr would get mad props if he were to take on Marco Antonio Rubio.. If not Sergio, at least Rubio...

Not saying that Rubio is any easier but at least he's not as tricky..

How did you have it?

[gest12645]

I honestly saw Chavez winning all of the rounds. The only round that could go either way imo , was the 4th

Mexico = Altitude

They should wait a couple of months till it's getting hot then fight Barker

[Galaxy]

I'd be surprised if this fight happens, too risky for Chavez Jr. He'll drag out someone like Ishiida or Mora, but they might be a little to live as well. How about Karmazin or Ouma?

I'll give Chavez Jr huge props if he fights Barker
