4. Billy Joe Saunders
5. Eamonn O'Kane
6. John Ryder
7. Chris Eubank Jr.

Me too, I think its a perfect fight for BJS to see where he's at. Even if he lost he's young enough to come back and Macklin needs what he might think is an easy fight for him to come back after his loss. I think Billy would outbox him though and prove his class.

Interesting list Columbo, I think Barker beats Macklin myself, isn't O'kane Irish though.
Edit: also Mcewan

I think O'Kane is Northern Irish. Could be wrong though. It's a bit of mad one I know. Id just be interested to see how Barker would cope if Macklin really put the fight on him! Regarding BJS, ive got him listed very high but to be honest we still dont really know how good his chin is yet.

How can you justify BJS over Barker? thats crazy when one is a proven top 15 in the world kinda guy and the other is not even proven at european caliber
