    I guess a case can be made for an early win for Mugabi...given the fact that he was a 1st KO specialist and Barkely was stopped in one round by Nigel Benn..

    ...but those of us who know the sport will come to only one conclusion:

    Barkley by Late KO. Too big too strong.

    Mugabi is always remembered way too fondly because of his slugfest with Hagler. Unfortunately, he lost that big fight and never actually beat anyone important.

    As Sly said, Barkley was too big and strong to fall victim to the plodding Mugabi.

    Mugabi is the most overrated Puncher ever. Barkley by ko 10 out of10 times. RememberMr. Puncher couldn't dent the chin of Terry Norris. Norris could take a shot though.
