    How much hope does Barkley have? How competitive is it?

    Without sounding like a #### we all know how this plays out. You start alot of threads man. Maybe try being a little more less obvious and a bit more selective.

    Read again I didn't ask who wins....it's a freaking forum that survives off of people making threads. Jesus Christ you all get so emotional and take things so personally and some of you all are 50 years old! I've never seen adults get so worked up over a stranger they never met before in their life posting threads. Personally, I don't care what anyone on here posts. They can post what they want when they want and in 5 seconds I'll be thinking about something else. Get over it man

    It would play out like the Toney fight except it wouldn't last as long. Toney was taught to fight by a guy that learned by watching people like Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore.

    The difference in skill between Moore and Barkley is too big. Iran compensated for a lot by being tough, strong and determined but, in this case, that would work against him.

    Why does the thread starter suck so bad at making threads? Just put a little thought into it and come up with something original, it isn't that hard.

    Barkley is the very foil of the type of fighter that Moore would eat for breakfast. I am 100% serious when I say that Moore wouldn't have to train for this fight, except he'd have to make the weight of course.

    Like I said, it's an internet forum. Things get blown up way out of proportion around here. I don't see the big deal in anyone posting anything boxing related as long as they aren't insulting or degrading anyone

    Moore by 8 rnd ko.As for how competitive ,Barkley wouldn't roll over ,he'd at least try and give as much back .But Archie here in his natural weight group would be pretty unstoppable. Maybe Iran a little to brave for his own good and finds himself on the floor a few to many times.

    Look man I'll just be brutally honest. You flood the forum with questions you already know the answer too half the time and your not the only one. The other guy knows who he is and he keeps doing the same thing. Some really good questions and or threads on here just get lost in the shuffle when questions like this are constantly posted. Questions that you and everyone else already know the answer to!
    Be more selective and dont flood the forum with this kind of stuff we already have one guy that likes to have adleast 5 things up at once constantly. Think of this as constructive criticism and not me ragging on you man.

    Moore by UD. Barkley is tough and will hang in there. As for comparisons between Toney and Moore, Toney was the better technicien while Moore was the harder puncher.

    I get it, you like Barkley, but stop it. Iran, whose prime was at middleweight, and who never met a punch he could avoid, is NOT lasting the distance with a top 3-5 lightheavyweight of all time, and one of the best punchers the division ever saw.

    It's not even a matter of size, really. Moore was MILES better as a fighter in general. But the fact that he was naturally bigger just compounds Barkley's problem.

    Don't overrate Barkley's ugly ass.
