    Yep...Inside 6 of the funnest rounds you will see.

    Some might not agree with that..but Barkely was a massive middleweight, Rocky was not. Pit these two in a physical slugfest Id take Iran to come out on top more often then not.

    Barkley by UD...a slugfest where both warriors give each other all they can handle.

    I think I have to go with the majority and pick Barkley. Both men were tough as nails and relied on winning physical battles. Most of the time when you have a match like that, the more athletic of the two is going to prevail. Graziano no doubt had the better legacy, but I think Iran has the edge in a head to head match.

    I think barkley could absorb Graziano's patented right hand the grind him down for a late rounds stoppage. Barkley TKO 7.

    Well he didnt but Nigel was a very big hitter himself and a pretty decent sized middleweight to.

    Also not to take anything away from Nigel but that fight embodies a technical knockout. Iran was up, a little groggy but fine and the round was over...you could see the ref didnt want to call it but his hands were tied by the 3KD rule.

    Graziano too small, but what a fight it would be! Multiple KD's and over within three, in Barkley's favour IMO
