Neither would Toney.
You wouldn’t of lasted two minutes in that neighbourhood. Literally.
You do realise Barkley ran with the most prominent gang around probably in the world at the time?
Even Tyson told Benn to stay well clear of Iran Barkley. Calling him a ‘bad, bad man’. Nigel and Mike were partying with Mickey Rourke and Tom...
In a controlled environment. Barkley was the one guy he’d of feared outside the ropes - Toney isn’t stupid believe it or not, he ran drugs in...
He was intimidated by Barkley outside of boxing minutes. And rightly so.
Even Benn forgave King when the carrot was dangled.
Benn was actually the originator of the training camp. Before, boxers just trained year-round like a job (at their local gym).

Benn before the McClellan fight; ‘I’ve been hit with everything, pickaxes, baseball bats so what? Let’s see how he feels when I’m hitting him.’
Oh yeah, Barkley used to walk through swings of baseball bats and chains in his youth.
Why would anyone want to watch this
Also didn’t G-Man, McClellan, say he enjoyed knocking someone out more than having sex? And that only the cup protector hid his hard-on.
This is probably the realistic answer.
A terrifying man in British boxing? Is this a joke? Once upon a time there was Nigel Benn. Other than that I’m stuck.
