    Roberto slaughtered Davey Moore at 154 pounds and went 15 rounds with Marvin Hagler losing a close UD . He's also the oldest man to ever win the middleweight championship at almost 38 years of age. Remind me what Pink Floyd did above 147?

    His name is off of Hearns, but Hearns was pretty washed by then. floyd at a tight 160. He could outbox him. Just IMO

    Easy. He beat Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya, and Canelo Alvarez. That's three first ballot hof fighters, two lineal 160 champs,and three 154 and 160 champs. Last I checked, Barkley and Moore weren't even in the hof.

    He didn't lose to Laing, Simms, or a last legs Benitez. Actually, he didn't lose at all.

    Based on the poll, I think the ref should stop the match and save the Floyd fans.

    5'6 cotto, 5'7 canelo, 5'10 Oscar, yawn. Floyd nutters love to use his victories against relatively short boxers as proof he would school boxers of completely different dimensions like 6'1 Barkley at full middleweight

    While anybody who actually know boxing knows styles make fights

    With all due respect, Canelo would beat the absolute **** out of Barkley.

    If you want styles, Kalambay beat Barkley.

    Casuals….

    Whether or not canelo would beat Barkley is irrelevant to Mayweather beating Barkley. You understand styles make fights? Barkley smoking hearns who smoked duran should've meant duran losing to Barkley if triangle theories worked like that, casual

    I could explain to you exactly why Mayweather would struggle from a technical standpoint but it'd fly over your head

    Yeah, but you and everybody else saw Hearns knock Duran completely out. Those kinds of comparisons don't carry any weight. Plus who told you Hearns was Floyd's superior? Somebody had to tell you that because they were from different eras and never fought. Or is it that you started lying and couldn't stop.

    So list all of Irans victories at middleweight. Name Four victories of his you think were his best at middleweight.

    Anybody that could move- even just a little- would give Barkley massive problems and Mayweather could move pretty good for sure.
