    Barkley is more proven.

    I think the GMAN's power is the difference in this one. At somepoint he lands cleanly on Barkley and KO's him. With that said, I would be rooting for Barkley.

    Most guys will pick Gerald but Barkley was hell of tough and not too bad a boxer. I think his chances are better than people think.

    Barkley's far too easy to hit for McClellan.

    Both at their best i would pick McClellan by stoppage. If Barkley could survive the early rounds though he may have a chance but I wouldnt bet on it.

    The Bemn fight was a total abberation.A freak. Inactivity ,the recent retina surgery and his father dying days before must have played a part.And because of bogus inept refereeing he was stopped on a technicality he looked fresh and was the worlds best comeback artist at that point.

    We were deprived of a fight for the ages.i thinm barkley would have come back and worn benn done.

    The rest of his career hearns couldnt break him.and mclellan though an underrated boxer was no toney.

    I cant see mclellan going 12 so i think barkley wears him down around 10

    Difficult one this.Slightly favour McClennan but at his very best you would be foolish to discount Barclay

    Horrible matchup for Barkley.

    McClellan blasts him inside of 4-5.

    Barkley could take a punch long enough to land his punch.. I am not one of those who thinks Gerald was really very proven...
