    Default Darren barker, yes or no?

    Just wondering what you guys think of Darren barker, will he win a world title? I think so, i think he beats daniel Geale any day of the week.

    Apparently Chris Eubank Jr dropped him in sparring.

    Really?

    I consider Barker a good, solid British middleweight. Not a special talent by any means, but definitely above average. I suggest that Barker target Geale or Quillin. Both are winnable fights, but somewhat risky.

    Geale & Quillin would both beat Barker

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    At least it happened in sparring and not in a proper fight. Sometimes that can be a blessing, perhaps Barker was becoming complacent and getting dropped may have given him the kick up the arse he needed.

    It has no indication to what Barker can go on to achieve. Groves was badly bruised after sparring Eubank jr before the Degale fight. Eubank jr hits hard and if sparring a lot with him chances are you are going to take some lumps at one point.

    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.
