    What do you mean emotions ? I could careless about a hypothetical fantasy match up. Obviously you care more about it than me because you keep quoting me, and actually started this conversation we're having now.

    You want to spin a narrative that would never realistically happen, as if Mayweather would allow Barkley to come in weighing 160 pounds without catchweight involved. You're living in a fantasy world if you honestly believe Mayweather would fight a fully fledged Middleweight without catchweight involved.

    The thread specified "160" Mayweather's highest weight was "152". So if the fight was to take place Mayweather would have to fight Barkley without catchweight, and that realistically would never happen hence the fight would never take place hope this helps.

    This my last response because I'm bored of this subject.

    You can ask the thread starter if Mayweather is allowed to weigh in under 160. I think it's common sense that 160 refers to the weightclass, not the literal weights at the weigh in. Maybe he meant Barkley has to enter the ring at exactly 160, in which case he'd be drained.

    Good grief... how obtuse and dense can you be?? Or are you playing dumb? Hard to tell with you.

    Obviously when you fight at 160, that's weigh in for MW. And day before weigh ins didn't start until the 80's. Blade started in the early 80's. That's a freebie for you....

    Even Floyd wasn't as good as swerving and dodging punches as @NoNeck is at answering the question.

    So Barkely gets to weigh in at 160 and Mayweather gets the option of coming in light, which is exactly what I assumed since the start. You agree with me.

    Sure, if that was his choice to face Barkley who weighed in at 160. Then who wins??? All you've done in this thread is play semantics while being pedantic and obtuse.

    Obviously Barkley would have won. Are you just too chicken**** to say so?? Be a man and ANSWER the thread title rather then running yourself in a loop chasing your tail...

    Mayweather could outbox Blade. IB would be the fave but I think Floyd could do it? IB wasn't special, IMO

    Cortez controlling the action and Bayless holding on to Barkely's left leg. Floyd still gets knocked out.

    It is not out of the realm of possibility honestly. Iran Barkley wasn’t really all that. I say he wins based on size difference but you never know

    You can literally check the votes, man who has never worn boxing gloves. Duran above 147 was thoroughly worse than Mayweather.

    Sumbu Kalambay easily beat Barkley and he was kind of a budget version of Mayweather.
