    On his best night, Iran could have troubled the hell out of those guys, and dare I say win.

    Lamotta would outwork him, Barkley has power but telegraphed, a fight with him and Graziano would be a shoot out bar none both men would be hit hard, and both loved a brwl, Barkley not as disiplined as Zale, tough but not as solid....I like Lamotta big Ud OR LATER STOP, but Graziano by a bit in a rock em sock em fight..KO WHERE BOTH MEN WOULD BE STAGGERED AND HIT THE CANVAS......close in styles

    He does not win early against Lamotta, if at all...I would say Jake could dip inside his long punches, take whatever he had on the inside and outwork him.

    Iran at his absolute best could knock out Graziano...who would be the much smaller man physically aswell unlike Jake...Though as mentioned I think he goes through hell to do it.

    I really don't see how you can put Iran Barkley and Rocky Graziano in the same ring, and not have a bloody battle. Same pretty much goes for Lamatta. I don't see any of these fights going to the cards. Someone is going to get knocked out or pounded to submission.

    In both matchups, Iran would've gotten the worst of it.

    Well, he twice fought Hearns and went life and death for 12 rounds with Duran. Therefore, I think its possible that his chin holds up. Barkley's biggest problem was that his defense sucked, so anything can happen.
