    Let's say the Barkley from the 2nd Hearns fight shows up. How would he do against Kovalev?

    Kov via KO. He is literally better than Barkley in every aspect.

    I think Barkley would knock him out. Kovalev has the better skills but I do not see him doing well under that kind of pressure.Barkley just has a difficult style for Kovalev in my opinion.

    Barkley was the better fighter and stronger willed. Barkley would not be knocked out by a body punch. I think Barkley guts it out and stops Kovalev in about 6.. Kovalev is made for him, and Kovalev is not tough enough for Barkley.

    Yyep.Barkley would give him no respect.Kovalev is not used to being under that kind of pressure, he is used that his opponents back away from him. He has a tendancy to keep his hands low, Barkely would get through with those hooks
