This would be a tear up, it could go either way. I just think Barkley is the slightly more durable of the two and would stop Tony late.
Would be a ding dong of a battle. Can see both been down at some point.. Can see your view of barkley Been more durable . if Tony can get him early then he stands a good chance of stopping him. The longer the fight goes I see more chance of Iran blasting Tony to the canvas. But not one for the faint hearted.
Barkley stopped by Benn in 1 and before he landed that desperate punch to ko Hearns he was taking terrible punishment and the fight was close to being stop on cuts. Ib later had to get plastic surgery after fight. Sibson was unlucky to fight Hagler at his best. He later said that his performance against Sibson was his best and that TS hit him as hard as any of his opponents. TS had under rated skills and was like a mw Jerry Quarry. Midlands strongman in a war by 12 rounds decision. This content is protected
Sibbo of course by points. i think Iran is durable enough to last the distance but Sibbo was a terrifying fighter and would easily outhustle Iran
Sibbo was BETTER than Quarry - by far! This man had the artillery and I loved that jab and head movement coming in. This man was for real!
Fergy always like to answer your posts and if i don't i always like to hear the answers as you are always a member who makes this forum very intriguing.
Great match up Fergy. I really aren't confident to pick either way. Barkley was a massive middleweight and bigger than Sibson but Sibson was tough and could hit harder than people think. I reckon Sibson was more skilled but neither excelled in that area. I see a genuine give and take war that goes to the wire with two evenly matched, stout, big hearted men slugging it out. I lean towards Barkley due to his size and toughness but with absolutely zero confidence. Sibson could really go. A ripper of a match up. Well done!
I think Barkely would win. He has the size advantage, similar build to "Dangerous" Don Lee, who took Sibson apart. Minter was at the end of his rope when he lost to Sibson.
