He beat Hope more impressively than Proksa did. And everyone started slurping Golovkin's nuts because he beat Proksa.

This kind of puts things in their proper perspective.

TRIANGLE THEORY. Golovkin > Barker every day of the week and I like Barker - he won me a lot of money with this fight.

Barker went in there and put in work. I still want to see Barker/Proksa though, that fight is over-due.

It's almost a rectangle theory! Barker > Hope, Proksa > Hope, GGG > Proksa, Barker > GGG???

I like Barker and I think he fought a respectable fight against Martinez, but I don't think you can conclusively say he's MORE proven than GGG, anymore than you can say GGG is really proven in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping my eye on all of them (Murray and Macklin too)...

All I'm saying is....why does GGG get so much hype? Proksa isn't a world beater. (and neither is Gabriel Rosado.)

Let him beat a few world class opponents first before you can crown him.

Martinez crushed barker and knocked him out

Good performance but I don't read too much into it. Barker needs to get back in the mix early next year and hopefully meet Macklin/Murray. Shame McEwan has dropped off.
