    Thomas Hearns lost his world title to Iran Barkley twice, at two different weights, so if Barkley isn't even anywhere near top 100, then Hearns is probably a horrible pick for the top 10.

    I don't know if such lists can ever be credible, but I'd say Hearns is possibly worthy of being named among the top 50, but not much higher than that.

    To be fair to Eubank, there are probably 5 men on his list who are very acceptable as "top 10" fighters, all-time.
    That's 50%

    Barkley at his best was a rough tough hard warrior. Eubanks clearly respects him as we all should.

    I agree.
    Barkley was a tremendous fighter. He gave his all. :good
    If I was manager of a middleweight fighter, I wouldn't want to put him in with Iran Barkley, that's for sure. To say nothing of facing Barkley myself.

    Barkley was a bad, bad mofo.
