Watson. Late stoppage on cuts or wide decision. Poor Iran....this guy is like Weaver matchups in the heavyweight division. As in he'd get a few surprise wins, but usually it'd be a loss against the elites. Hang tough and give a good account of himself, but get the W? He's just too easy to hit against a guy like Watson. And Watson is good enough defensively to avoid the big shots. I just see Iran walking into punches the second half of the fight and getting pummeled. But not quitting. Just a guy taking a bad licking in there.
Yes Got to go with "Watto" The Watson who kept his cool and Generalship against the Much Faster Punching ..Maniacal Attacking Benn, would Find all the time he needs to Counter the Cart-Horse by Comparison, Barkley.. Iran's Tough but may Accrue a Close eye and other facial damage to force a late stoppage, In fact if you were drawing up a Name opponent that could make Watson Shine.. Iran could be it. He marches onto his own punishment.
Watson by UD. He'd outbox Iran, and would let Barkley wear himself out with his wild flurries. He also had good enough defense to not get caught much.
Mike would counter Iran all night long. He was very cool against straight forward types. UD clear for Mike.
Two HUGE middleweights. Stylistically you'd say Watson, but Barkley could box a bit at range when he chose to (Duran fight at times) and Watson was quite flat-footed.
