    Yeah, I think he'd win quite handily, even if he is very small.

    I'd say go for it but I don't think he could make the weight.

        Apart from the weight, Barker is 6ft tall, Pacquiao 5ft 6.

          I don't think so. MW is too big for him.

            Bradley beat him in the Amateur's so who knows

            I'd give him a shot in all honestly despite the fact he'd probably come the ring like something ****** like 30 lbs lighter.

              I might have gone so far as to love this idea in 2010, but not now. Of course, in 2010 Barker wasn't a champ or anything.

                Manny would be way too small. He struggles at 154, has no chance against a natural 154lber without some sort of catchweight. Nevermind 160

                Same for Floyd. Floyd is obviously a bigger man given he can stretch to 154 more comfortably, but even he wouldn't face a natural 154lber without a catchweight. Forget 160

                  Re-hydration limit? Obviously any MW would take this fight with the money on offer.

                    how about Floyd get his 6th so he can be almost as accomplished as Manny?
