Iran "226lbs" Barkley

lol! He didn`t look heavier than Mike Tyson v Duran! His biceps certainly weren`t heavyweight biceps and he was fat as hell as a heavy.

 

Here he is (at "226") against Duran in 1989 :

Here he is at a legitimate 229 pounds against Coetzee in 1997 :

Those extra 3 pounds are a ***** !

 

I wonder if even a horse can put on 66 pounds in one day !

 

Against Duran Barkley did look like a light heavyweight, Gil Clancy even made a remark about it at ringside, But he was nowhere near 190 much less 226. I've noticed some fighters make strange statements years after they retire

 

Whew I'd forgotten just how bad Iran and Coetzee looked in that fight, old and fat vs shot and washed up.

 

They do get hit in the head for a living.

 

He's BSing

 

Iran also used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

 

In case you meant it literally, even the smallest horse could very easily rehydrate 66 lbs.
Googling it, the smallest weight given for a horse is 840 lbs.-& they go up to 2,200 lbs.
If those draft horses had the obesity of many people, it would be a lot more.

Anywho, people can routinely put on 10% of body weight without trouble if done properly-sometimes it is a little more.
And those who have more muscle tend to have an easier time.
Say 2 fighters are in the same division, one is 5' 6", the other 6'...The latter at the same body fat level is gonne be heavier due to his length & bone structure, so have less rehydration potential.

So the math, the smallest normal (non-dwarf, not a small pony) would very easily be able to put back 66 lbs.!
Barkley would not have gotten past the 180's though.

 

If you didn’t know any different you would think Iran was supposed to be that big. How he made middleweight I will never know. Lord knows what went on.

 

My mother in law can.

 

I have eaten horses in a single sitting I am so acidic I lost weight.
