The Scouting of Darren Barker.

[Evil Abed]

Rhodes is a better fighter than Barker and has been through numerous eliminators to earn his Top 10 slot at 154 and a shot at the world title.

Barker hasn't done anything to earn his world title shot.

OK.

That makes sense.

Not sure about that.

Why do you think so?

Jamie Moore is about established as Spada.

I'd say there on about the same level.

But Canelo aint no Sergio.

Canelo-Rhodes is a dead even fight IMO.

I see Moore's wins over Macklin and Piccirilo as better than anything on Spada's resume. Unless I'm missing something-I haven't seen a great deal of Spada so it's possible. Moore outwarred Macklin and then Rhodes outwarred him.

Rhodes has shown more versatility than Barker as well which counts for something. He's won as the aggressor and on the backfoot, at range and on the inside.

This thread has demonstrated the best NSB has to offer.

Opinions without name calling and trolling. (excluding the first post)

I'm glad we can have conversation about a fighter like Darren Barker for 5 pages.

Good stuff.

Agreed!! We need all the other meatballs to follow suit and we will be good to go on this forum!!
