Arthur Abraham vs Iran Barkley at MW.

Barkley wins

 

I'm picking Barkley for the second time in the last few days in a mythical matchup. Too big, too tough, if he gets going, he'll work Abraham over. But I'm not going to call that a foregone conclusion, either.

 

I'm picking Abraham, Barkley had a lot of spirited efforts, but he only stepped up to the plate won against Hearns. The rest of his bog fights are losses.

 

Barkley is a lot taller, rangier and naturally bigger. He wins.

 

AA was very very good at MW and very tough as well. Barkley was my man but I see a close majority decision going to King Abraham.

 

How is he gonna beat Barkley then?

AA can't fight on the inside, he always retreats into a shell.Also, no way he keeps up with Barkley's workrate. It seems like a clear win for Barkley.

 

I'm kind of torn on this one. I can see Barkley outfighting and outworking AA to a decision win, but I could also envision AA catching the The Blade with one too many big shots and stopping him.

 

Guys who boxed a lot gave Abraham problems. He was pretty much indestructible against heavy punchers. He'd probably win.

 

I really don't see this being a 'big' fight for Barkley when you consider the fighters he's shared the ring with and I'm not a very big fan of his. Maybe I'm being to harsh on Abraham, but I was never that impressed with him. Then again Barkley lost to worse fighters than Abraham and he's up against a dynamite puncher... now I'm just going in circles. Gun to my head I'd probably be dead by now

 

The chance of AA stopping Barkley with his wild hooks seems very small.barkley has a habit of ducking under wide hooks and has a good chin

 

I have to pick Barkley in a close decision. What a grueling fight.. Barkley made every fight grueling.

 

Iran by split decision

 

Real good fight here.

Much like a ton of early Barkley fights that were nip and tuck. That being said, I like AA by a little bit. I think he wins a round or 2 more than Sanderline Williams. Good tough fight and both guys can and would, dig deep.

 

Barkley by late stoppage AA is to one paced to win Barkley would bounce big shots on to his clam shell defence and head as AA plods around the ring .
