    His criteria is weird though, based on coming back from losses and 'taking beatings'.

    Is Barkley greater than McCallum??

    He did smash out Tommy, give Kalambay, Duran and Nunn hell for 12 rounds (all TOP skilled talents) and grab WBC-WBA-IBF titles from middle to light-heavy. At his very worst, peak Benn couldn't knock him out, peak Toney couldn't knock him out. And this was all past his best as he waited for his chance.

    McCallum did knock out Curry, have 50/50ish 12-rounders with Kalambay, Graham and Toney, and do a peak job on a Watson who was at his worst... but he didn't exactly set the world alight. Jeff Harding was there for the taking, extremely limited fighter - Iran beat Tommy for the '75.

    Barkley does not belong in a top 100, much less a top ten.

    Simply not true. He would clearly be in a top 100 of fighters named after Middle Eastern countries! Indeed, I can only think of Israel Contreras being pound for pound better. ;)

    Maybe Eubank's just trying to make himself look better because he fought Watson who fought McCallum and Benn who fought Barkley
