    Can Crawford do what Duran did at the same age? (Crawford is making 160lbs rather than 168lbs)

    Who wins this matchup?

    Bud counters him all night. There would be shaky moments as Barkley was a huge middleweight with power, but his come foward style would favor Bud. Would have given him a tougher fight than Canelo though

    Terrence the much more skilled operator and a TOP 25 ATG in my book. However, Barkley might just be too big. Remember Terrence started out as a lightweight. Unlike Canelo, Barkley does not sit back but overwhelms his opponents with pure aggression.

    Crawford by close decision. More competitive version of the Porter fight

    Alot harder than the Canelo fight that's for sure Barkley would be much more imposing and aggressive than Canelo.

    If Barkley can give a prime Nunn a close fight he can give Crawford a close fight aswell.
