    Yeah, it was a bit sad to see Barkley like that. It took me a few minutes to recognize him and I was right next to him. He seemed like a nice guy and him making a comeback was about a million miles from my mind at the time.

    Nah, Shavers is a bouncer, the only greeting you get from him is if you act up. He works in a bar near me....

    This potential tragedy in the making is a perfect example of why boxers need a comprehensive health benefits plan and pension. He should not be allowed to fight. His eyesight does not look good and this is going to end badly.

    Iran is a nice feller , a big strong man but is completely shot to bits, he would be absolutely out of his depth.. Barkley fought Coetzee a few years ago at heavyweight .. they were obese..
