Good to keep them active but Barker should be defending his British title.

Barker's handlers should try to arrange it, yes. Barker needs to keep busy. Wayne needs the gig and is desparate to make one last stand at tthe British title. It's a nice compromise between a name and a winnable fight for Barker and I think he needs a little step up in levels before going where eh is supposed to be heading, class-wise.

I'm sure it can, but the lack of TV dates is the problem, not the lack of opponents

rather see murray and barker on friday night fights than some of the dross so far this year.
Completely agreed!!!

And with regards your comment concerning Witter - why not pitch him in with Hatton - that fight would still sell - even now!!!
he wanted a name opponent. :OhYes:

not a wannabe who quits on his stool on undercard fights. :oops:

Hope he fights soon! Cant wait to see him in action again. They should do a middle weight super six next year with Barker in it!!! That would be interesting.
