Barkley vs. Briscoe

I favor Bennie, if he can almost top Monzon...

 

Briscoe would knock him out.

 

Briscoe should have beaten Monzon in their first fight yes, but Monzon had not reached his peak. Monzon outclassed Bennie in their rematch for the title, a one-sided win.

For this though, I pick Briscoe, probably stopping The Blade.

 

Great matchup..Im also going with briscoe

 

Briscoe stops Barkley in three rounds, too much experience for even him.

 

Briscoe was 1 year younger than Monzon . If Monzon had not reached his peak then Briscoe was even further from his .

 

This is a big exaggeration . Briscoe was no Nigel Benn .
And Barkley was severely weakened & drained in his losses 2 Benn , Duran , Toney and probably Sims , Nunn & Kalambay as well .
Not that I consider d Kalambay & Nunn fights losses .
More generally , Barkley did not fit 160 , but it did pay off 4 him vs Hearns .
But maybe it weakened him in d following years , he even was drained vs Toney @ 168 , a few moths after it he fought at HW weighing like a HW .
So because of Barkley being weak @ 160 Briscoe might have beaten him , but no way @ less than 7 rounds .

 

Briscoe was never anywhere near beating Monzon in his prime, he was awful.

 

Briscoe takes out Barkley late.

 

Briscoe either stops Barkley late or wins a decision.
