Okay, misread the previous post. I thought I remember Tapia had health issues that were keeping him out too. Didn't know Barros had something as well.

Lennox Lewis tells Chris Eubank Jr the massive mistake he has made
Lennox Lewis and Andre Ward will be part of the commentating team for Chris Eubank Jr's IBO super-middleweight title fight against Renold Quinlan on February 4.
Lewis, 51, is one of the great success stories of British boxing having retired as the heavyweight champion of the world back in 2003 and he beat the likes of Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko throughout his prestigious career.
He knows what it takes to be a world champion, and after missing out on a fight with Gennady Golovin to Kell Brook last year, this is Eubank Jr's first chance to win a world-level belt.
Lewis thinks that having the same name as his former world champion father is something that spurns the 27-year-old on, rather than weighs him down.
“I think the last name is something he’s trying to live up to, and maybe even do better than his dad, and that has motivated him into becoming the world class fighter that he is now."
However, he thinks Next Gen has made one terrible mistake in the build-up to his showdown with Australian Quinlan.
“As for the trainer aspects, you always need somebody to be able to tell you where you’re doing something wrong or where there are openings to get to your opponent that you’re not taking advantage of.
“A trainer can see little things, as an extra set of eyes, that you may not be able to see yourself in the heat of battle. Emanuel Steward wasn’t my cheerleader or motivational support. He taught me strategy, he pointed out and corrected bad habits. We dissected our opponents’ styles, strengths and weaknesses and worked a plan to beat them.
“I think Chris is making a mistake in that regard to reduce a trainer down to someone who is just pushing him to be fit. A good trainer is so much more than that, and can make a big difference between adding a win to your record or suffering a loss, so this will be interesting to see how he makes any needed adjustments during the fight."

Porter: The Only Person Ducking Spence is Kell Brook - Boxing News
''I fought Kell Brook when he was the mandatory. It's only right that he does the same thing. I don't know what's taking him so long," Porter said.

I swear on my parents graves that I didn't get through the first minute of the scrap before I declared him a bum. Wilder is going to slump him. Wilder would be better off giving Charles Martin a call
Look I ain't the most technical guy when it comes to boxing, far from it, but I can just look at the way he punches and see all kinds of flaws. Looks like he's punching in slow motion.

on....he don't wanna face Shawn PorterANDRE BERTO CHECKS SHAWN PORTER; SAYS HE STILL HAS NO OPPONENT AND NO FIGHT DATE: "KEEP MY NAME OUT YA MOUTH"
By Ben Thompson | January 27, 2017
Contrary to the recent announcement made by former world champion Shawn Porter, a potential April showdown with fellow former world champion Andre Berto has yet to be officially agreed upon by both parties. "Until that phone rings from boss man [Al Haymon] about the fight date or the money, there is no fight date and no opponent," stated Berto, who spoke to FightHype.com shortly after Porter made the announcement. Berto clarified that although he has no problems with facing anyone inside the ring, until Haymon informs him that the business side is taken care of, there's no point of even saying his name.
"We not in high school. I beat enough ass out on the school yard for free. This is business. You just can't try to make a fight on your own without the other party knowing shyt about the business. That's not how it goes," Berto explained. "Like I said before, as of right now, no fight date, no opponent We stay ready on this side, but until I get a phone call, keep my name out ya mouth!"
