    This is the classic forum aka fantasy land.

    Barkley by 1st round stoppage.

    After all he only lost 19 times.

    Kevin just wait for the duramafia answers.

    Barkley would win because he was a good rival for súper mega Duran best pfp fighter in the galaxy

    This would be a fun watch. Barkley bigger and stronger than ggg and threw a ton of punches but I think ggg out points and possibly stops him

    This could be something close to a career ender for Barkley. He would be game, but quite possibly take brutal punishment for that reason. I think Golovkin stops him after 8-9 one-sided rounds.

    This. It may even be competitive the first 3 rounds or so but GGG takes over before the halfway point and batters him

    Iran Barkley is a really good guy I was with him once and he broke up a fight between two men at a bar. Nice person. He would lose this fight however

    Barkley was not a feeling out fighter, but perhaps Golovkin would try and slow the tempo down early in order for him to feel Barkley out. It can also be that he'd feel the need to quickly gain Barkley's respect, and I think he'd find plenty of openings to counter Barkley with hard shots.

    Golovkin is not only a brutal puncher, but also a fine boxer and seems to have a sturdy chin and great stamina. In short, all the tools needed to really pick Barkley apart. It would be action filled, but could turn quite nasty at the end. Barkley was as tough and durable as they come and would have to be battered to submission.

    It's hard to tell as GGG has not been tested by a man as huge and powerful as Barkley. Barkley on the other hand was tested to the fullest. I'll pick GGG as he's the technically superior boxer but as always with GGG I'm not 100%.
