Seriously, he's not the best at the moment but you wait and see. Chunky is going to the very top. Just like A-Force... :box:

Moore would be really strong up at middleweight, Barker looks a quality fighter but I just think Matt Macklin is in the form of his life at the moment and is the best in Europe.

How do you know how good or bad Jamie is going to be at middle? I think the weight will suit him better. I think he will beat Macklin for the European belt and he will definately go on to fight for a world title. :box:
middleweight division is a harder division with the likes of pavlik, paul williams, winky wright,slyvester and felix sturm thats the top 5 and they all hold the 4 major belts can you honestly say that jamie could beat any of them i dont think he can, and i think macklin will beat jamie cause macklin has improved a million miles since the last thought in 2006, macklin just got his tactics wrong in there fight trying to bang jamie out and he just ran out of gas completley and i dont think he will make the same mistake again, but who knows? :TU:

When your body is not struggling to make weight it will perform better then when tired from being weight drained etc, Jamie has struggled to make lightmiddle for a long time which was not a secret, he has also been improving his strength for a few years now so im sure he will be a handful for any middle around as he will be feeling good and reacting sharp he also has a better boxing brain than people realise............Martin is a very strong middle too the guy is like a brick wall shoulders like boulders and is improving massively and soon to be the new....................when he gets a shot at a title!!!

For me it has to be between Moore and Maklin. I think they both have better boxing brains than Barker. Murray is coming up on the blind side and I think he will be a contender in the not too distant future. The other 2,,,,,, forget about it.

Moore and Maklin II would be a belter, and the winner takes the poll for me, so I edge Moore again. The fact that he's a little Chinese impersonator in his spare time shows that he eats too much sweet and sour pork between fights, but now he's got the flexibility of the 6 extra pounds I see him being stronger and fresher and beating Maklin.

So I call it:
1. Moore
2. Maklin
3. Barker
4. Murray
5. The rest

Mug!!!!!!!!!!

Have a look through Boones record, some good names on it.

-Andre Ward, lost a close UD
-Lajuan Simon, recent World Title Challenger, DRAW
-Juan Pascal, lost UD
-Fernando Zuniga, lost MD
-Enrique Ornelas, lost close UD

I know he doesn't win much but he has been in with some quality fighters and is a lot better than his record suggests and appears to put up a good fight against most fighters.

Don't be a smart arse...

A peak and fit Moore (and not weight drained and shattered) was more than a match for Barker or any of these guys. First class fighter, gutted about last night.

As it stands I think Barker is the best.

Good shout with McEwan (Scottish Bias again) but I would say Barker, I think he is quality and would beat Macklin.
