I'm guessing most people will pick Slappy to win. And maybe he does. But how do you see this fight playing out? The thing about Barkley is he was such a warrior and so determined. Especially at 168 when he was super juiced up. Toney got through it with brilliant countering skills and relaxation. But can you see Calzaghe standing his ground the way Toney did? And keeping his cool? I'm not so sure. I think if Barkley's face holds up, and the fight doesn't get stopped, Barley comes on later and in the very least makes it close.
dammit. can one of the mods help me out here before this gets out of hand? i think this is a pretty interesting match-up (Iran vs. Joe).
LOL. Fa real though to answer your question, I think Joe would have taken Iran apart and beat him by a very clear UD.
Calzaghe slices Iran Barkley apart en route to a near shutout decision or late stoppage. Calzaghe potshots his way to a 120-108 win over Charles Barkley. Calzaghe gets KTFO early against Gnarls Barkley
