Sounds punch drunk to me. He said he could knock Kelly and Jermain out.

Sounds punch drunk and dumb to me. He said he could knock Kelly and Jermain out.

A prime Barkley would.

[silvy_chris]

wtf is wrong with his eye

[MrStayman]

A prime Barkley would.Doubtful. He only had 10 tkos against people with positive records in his career.

[MrStayman]

wtf is wrong with his eyeHe took some brutal beatings near the end of his career by up and comers who wanted his name on their record.

iran was a tough bastard allright,who did he destroy to win the suppermiddle title,one kushners fighters,he was ok,but should never got in with the blade.

[Sister Sledge]

Iran was a very good fighter, but he wasn't great. He would give anyone a hard time because he took a great punch and never quit, but he was a defensive disaster, and not very skilled at anything. I highly doubt he could have been a champion today.

[Sister Sledge]

Yes, he beat Tommy Hearns, but hey, SRR lost to Randy Turpin. Some good fighter just have a way of beating great fighters.

[SteveO]

What a mess. What's he doing these days?

[achillesthegreat]

Just like Steward he underestimated what he saw.

Kelly is big, tall, rangey, strong, powerful and relentless in every way. Mentally he will not give in, physically he'll keep moving forward and its bombs, bombs, bombs.

Kelly also appears to be intelligent - he can survive, he thinks about range and timing, plus he can stick to game plans.

[joe the great]

I would favor Taylor and Pavlik over Barkley but Barkley was a tough SOB. He beat Hearns twice.

[pipe wrenched]

Barkley is brain damaged and broke. Pavlik would have brutally KOed him at any time in his career. Barkley was a mediocre fighter who had Hearns's number that's all.

Damn, that was a hell of a war while it lasted.:good Thanks for putting that one up.

[mattress]

Gotta love Benn. If only he had a defence!

[BITCH ASS]

Barkley would have beaten these guys. No question.

Duran, a former lightweight beat Barkley.

[roxyboxy]

Great. An opinion from a brain-damaged Barkely.

[Pimp C]

Barkley would wipe the floor with Taylor and Kelly.

[miamite]

Doubtful. He only had 10 tkos against people with positive records in his career. Glad you took out the part of him being a mostly defensive fighter. :good

My dignity is at stake here. I had him confused with clottey for some reason.

[Marnoff]

No kidding.

[Chief_Second]

he gave his all into boxing, including his health.

would have destroyed pavlik no question

[Hank]

Barkley was above club fighter level, with great management backing him. It got him a lot of big fights, but he was not an excellent fighter, and should shut up.

[chimba]

I never liked Barkley..wished Hearns tore that head off

[mattress]

Benn v Pavlik would've been fun.
