    I remember Van Horn's old man saying "We're going to bomb Iran" in the lead up to it. Bad move.

    Van Horn simply didn't have the size or strength at 168. Once Barkley knew Van Horn couldn't hurt him, it was over. Barkley was so strong and tough.

    1992 Barkley was hungry and in fighting shape. A real shame he didn't get the Benn rematch he wanted. Nigel avoided it

    It took a Maske to beat that kind of Barkley.
