    I don't think this will last long. I think both men will go down but Fullmer gets the decisive punch. Thoughts?

    The Barkley who fought Duran might beat him, Fulmer's certainly there to be hit

    Anything could happen here for sure. I like Gene tbh but can't rule out the murderous Barkley.

    The busiest guy in the ring might end up being the referee- both these guys fought rough.

    This fight would be a banger. That's all I know

    Fullmer mauls, runs from, roughhouses and wears Barkley down eventually by the 12th.

    Pretty much the way I see the fight unfolding, Barkley will hold no fears for Fullmer, he has been hit by the likes of : Lausse,Humez,SRR, Durando, Webb, Tiger, and the murderous punching Fernandez.
    stay safe buddy.

    Prime Barkley destroys him mid-rounds unless it's in Utah where he get's disqualified for knocking out the Mormon. Gene was too slow, lack dynamism or power.

    Yeah, Fullmer had nothing to fear from Barkley...he had been there already.
