british middleweights - whos best

[15829]

i think the 2 that stand out are barker and macklin you cant compare moore yet as hes not fought at the weight, barker macklin would be a great british fight hopefully they fight in a world title unification fight i think barker would win but it would be very close who knows maybe the could have a trilogy

[Adamj1987]

barker -mackin

[Tommy Gunn13]

Barker he would box the ears of Macklin then stop him late...

[Tommy Gunn13]

no mention of mcewan, arguably the best out and out boxer

your having a laugh aint u,might be learning the trade in the USA...Barker&Macklin would beat him easy...

[alexpaterson]

Yep very good times for British Middleweights. IMO Barker is the best so technically sound and has power and is very well schooled, McKeown and Lee has shown good potensial but not on the same level as Barker and Macklin.

x2 Barker is so well schooled i dont think theres anyone to touch him

including Jamie Moore,Barker would beat both...

[Chambers2]

Barker IMO

[Tommy Gunn13]

a perfectly accept and understand people saying macklin would beat them, but why would anyone be so sure barker beats mcewan, mcewan fought a much higher level of opposition and still undefeated like barker

Higher level,whos Mcewen beat other than Vera????

[ourkid1984]

All very good fighters, if Moore brings his speed and adds a bit of power he could well give Macklin or Barker a good fight.

Although Mcewan might have the potential to get to the standard of Barker or Macklin in the future, I don't think he is at that evel yet and won't be for a year or 2 and in that time both Barker and Macklin will be fighting for world titles in my opinion.

The other thing to point out is that the middleweight division is not as good world level as people make out, the best ones are either getting old or looking at moving up to super middle, perfect time for British based boxers to take advantage I think, especially by beating some top rated boxers.

Hate to be a moaning Micheal but what is Andy Lees name doing in the opening post? Don't know how many times it has to be said but he is not British! Its like callin David Haye Irish.

[TerribleTerry]

Barker IMO

Traitor!

The correct answer is Birmingham's Matthew Macklin.

(biased, moi?..)

[dondada]

Barker but Macklin would give him a better argument than some think.

[bigped]

I think its between barker and mcewan, both were outstanding amatures and both look good in pros, its hard to compare as craig is stateside so there in no common oppositionm craigs there best wins are VERA,STOVAL AND PARISON, thats as good as barkers three surely?

[skelp]

Darren Barker.

Though, I would have said Jamie Moore had he beaten Ryan Rhodes.

[slapbangwhallop]

pity the Irishman would knock his ass out first!

[MrBoxingUK2]

barker is the bizzzzzness he would school macklin and ko him late

[rhino222]

barker is by far the best boxer, but his chin is questionable, so it depends if he gets careless enough to get caught, or, whether anyone is good enough to catch him..

i think macklin would stop barker... just my take on things.

[Mooresy]

The major factor in me losing to Ryan was the weight, so i'll be much better at middle. (right hook in the 7th didn't help the cause though!! )
Lets see how Barker copes when he's in with someone who can pose him problems. Everyone looks good hitting the bags.

Darren Barker.

Though, I would have said Jamie Moore had he beaten Ryan Rhodes.

Macklin's got a much better resume at the minute.

[Mooresy]

Barker would easily beat Moore.

No one has it easy with me pal behave yourself.

Yeah that's what I meant Macklin or Barker

[TerribleTerry]

Barker would easily beat Moore.

Lirva you predictable fool

[bob99]

Barker would easily beat Moore.

Lirva you predictable fool

So you'd pick Moore in that fight? Were you also picking Moore against Paul Williams on this forum if i recall?

[Adamj1987]

Barker would easily beat Moore.

No one has it easy with me pal behave yourself.

perhaps lirva/bob should step into the ring with you and then barker and see who knocks him down the most in sparring

Never commented on a Moore v Williams fight, as I recall.

I was not commenting on your choice in the Moore v Barker match up, just the way you phrased it in an obvious attempt to rile a respected pro fighter who posts on here - you lack the intelligance to hide your weak trolling for more than a handful of posts.

Back to the hinterlands for you, d1ckhead.
