Unknown Information has been left blank.
DOB has been estimated.
I found in my DB a file for Chalker from way back when that was done by Lee Skye. It was a HW rating, and the biography included noted his record as W1 L4. I did not use any of that rating done by Lee so if you have that file, this new one is not based at all on that, but wanted to mention of Lee's original rating.
Barry did end his career as noted in BoxRec with two fights against Ernie Hughes in April and June 1957. This after his last shown fight being in Dec. 1955. Barrry beat Ernie in the first fight by 12 round decision. They then rematched in June for a fight billed as the Queensland State Heavyweight Title. Both fighters really LHW's.
Barry, by BoxRec listed fight weights I'd put him in as a Middleweight through his first 5 fights in 1950,fighting twice in January, and three times in February compiling a 3-2 record with all 5 results being by KO!So the MW rating.I don't take the difference in his KO's as a MW then none as a LHW as an indicator in some big change in his punching prowess. I think it was just his first opponents as a MW either they went down with little effort vs his LHW opponents.
He bulked up to 176 in October that year to fight and stayed generally in the LHW weight division. As a LHW rated, his record came in at W3(KO 0) / L7(KO 4)/ D0. His three decision wins all went the distance, 6, 12 and 12 rounds.
MW Record: W3(KO 3) / L2(KO 2) / D0
LHW Record: W3(KO 0) / L7(KO 4) / D0
