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
I was at the old Felt Forum at MSG for the fight and Barkley came into the ring so fierce that night he scared the whole building ... he had evil intentions that night ...
Big comeback win for Barkley, who was thought to be washed up & was brought in w/ the intention of adding a nice-looking scalp to DVH's resume. The Blade had other plans though.
If I saw Iran in an alley and he smiled asked me directions to a bus stop, I’d give him all my money and beg him not to hurt me.
It was during some post-fight interview, I think with Lampley, Barkley was asked what he planned to do after this win and he replied, "Rob your house!"
