Depends how far gone Martinez was when he beat Murray. And how good he was when he beat Barker.

I feel that Barker probably beats the Martinez that Murray faced.
I don't. I think if he's going to go down from a shot like that he would be beaten before he got to the ring in Argentina.

It was cumulative wasn't it, I think he was just done.

The Murray Martinez though looked less sharp to a factor of about 100. The fast hands weren't there. And for the most part Barkers defence was pretty solid against 'fast hands' Martinez. And as I remember I don't think Barker had too much trouble connecting with that Martinez for much of the fight.

All of our top middles are top euro and fringe world class (they belong up there but will not be a champion) and any bout between any mix of them would be excellent though I reckon Golovkin could beat them all, (done Macklin already) over a month of boxing Saturday nights.

I've always rated Murray as the best middleweight Britain has.
