oh ok, what happened exactly? never heared of him until he signed to fight Martinez. Whats his story?

Him & his brother boxed from a young age, his brother especially was said to be a real talent, I believe they was at a houseparty, Darren said to Gary don't drive as he wanted to visit is girlfriend and that night he drove and died in a car-crash Darren hit the drink but turned his life around and realised he had a boxing talent and basically fights in memory of his brother, he has picked up the British & European titles, he has been held back through injuries and was out for over a year due to a brawl outside a nightclub, he came to a guys aid and ended up being bottled and that, he took a comeback fight against Spada & dominated him. Sure Martinez is a huge step up from anything he has faced but IMO Barker has talent.

I said this about Froch & several others, everybody ****ing howled ''his guard is low blah blah''
I said this guys going places, same with Martinez and a whole lot of others Martinez on his day can make just about anybody look bad but I truly believe Barker has bags of raw talent & is so underrated it's ridiculous.

Anybody with that ringcraft, footwork, handspeed etc is a threat to anybody of any era IMO!

Gary Lockett was Welsh was he not? and I am not sure what you mean by that? Almost like you're saying U.K fighters are **** how about Froch, Brook, Khan, Groves, Burns, Mitchell, etc

no i'm saying these guys were shi-t hence why they were sacrificed to hype up hbo fighters. if they were good they wouldn't be selected as opponents. khan and froch are good obviously. mitchell is going to be sacrificed to rios and burns is in the bum parade fighting league.
