Sanderline Williams lost a SPLIT decsion to Barkley in which I thought he won . Mike Tinley lost a split decision to Barkley as well. i saw plenty of Barkley in his prime and if you could MOVE JUST A LITTLE and keep it up he couldnt do anything . Hell James Kinchen lost a split decision to Barkley. None of those boxers listed above are antywhere near the level of Sergio.
What about Tinley,Kinchen ? Soild contenders to be sure but not champions. Sergio had a pretty gopd chin- it wasnt like he was getting knocked out all the time. Alot of his knockdowns occured when he was either 40 or close to it.
I saw Iran's fights and strangely he never looked better than when he lost to Duran. Martinez should outbox him, but this Iran could nail him. I make Martinez a 5-2 favorite
IRAN WAS A WARRIOR,MARTINEZ WAS OVERATED YOUR RIGHT ON XPLOSIVE,HE COULDNT HANG WITH DOWNES OR MINTER HAHAHA
I think it would have been also, and in someway I pick Dewitt, I am not sure why. He was physically strong and would not be punched around by Barkley. I think he could cut up Barkley and get a win on TKO late.
