Why is Barker going for the british ?

Why isn't Saunders vs Blackwell for the vacant British title?

Saunders would have no problem with Barker IMO.

x2. That is a ridiculous shout. Have seen BJS a few times live on undercards of fw cards and he is a great prospect that is true. But as ever its all about levels and as yet he has never been remotely in the company that barker has. Needs another good few fights before getting in with any of our big three imho

I think Saunders is capable of going further than Barker and would be a very good fight if they were to meet soon.

Don't disagree with bjs having stacks of potential. Just think barker etc have been around the block too many times for him at present

BARKER SCHOOLED SAUNDERS IN SPARRING!!

Maybe both parties stated they had no interest in the fight ????

It's not like barker has been consistently mixing in better company than BJS - one or two maybe... BJS has been more active and I think he has more power, aggression and shot selection and will give barker if rusty fits if they meet. Don't think barker has been round the block that far that he's way in front of BJS. Just because you fight and got beaten by Martinez doesn't make you in a different league...

Saunders, Blackwell and Warren didn't want this fight to be for the vacant British title?

I assume various boxing journalists are trying to get to the bottom of this bizarre story. What the heck is going on here?

Whats the point of Barker v Hope being for the British Barker will beat Hope and either vacate the title or refuse to defend it as the likes off BJS and Blackwell are not on his level


Pathetic

Maybe the Luxembourg middleweight title can be arranged ?

Where did you here/read about this? Or is it another unsubstantiated rumour?

surely this is nonsense, BJS was the mandatory for Murray anyway
