Good boxing skills? Sit in a high guard crouch and wait for death would be his only option against the Bark he hasn’t fought an athlete like Iran, but Iran has fought better then the ginger.
So beating a past prime average chinned WW twice at 175 is evidence he would stop an Iron chinned middleweight with an completely different style? Seems legit.
How many super-middles did Barkley stop? Canelo has stopped a light heavy and a super middle and would have destroyed Van Horne.
Canelo is a far sharper counter puncher than Barkley was and would throw more counters than Nunn did v Barkley, Iran didn`t have Canelo`s defense.
Michael Olajide was supposed to be the next big thing. Kinchen and Tinley were useful. Nunn was rated the best boxer of any weight at the time by KO writers and HBO analysts.
Great fight. Made threads about this in the past. I've got Canelo via UD or potential late stoppage. Barkley is too tailor-made for Canelo, with his face first slugging, come forward style & little-to -no defense. I see it being similar to when Canelo fought Angulo, but more competitive.He'll make it exciting like he always did whether he won, lost or drawed.
