    Fenech would walk through McGuigan. The better match-up is McGuigan vs. Barry Michael.

    Agreed.

    That early Fenech was something and he applied pressure like Aaron Pryor. He was on top of opponents and they'd be smelling his breath for about 2:40 of each round. I don't
    think Barry is given the room/distance to land that left hook. Take that away & what do you have left against a Fenech?

    Fenech was a saturation puncher, at feather and beyond, because in top class he couldnt get opponents in trouble with a shot or two, Barry for me was a much harder puncher, who could box his way in behind a heavy Jab, I dont think anyone focused on Jeff Body like Barry Would with that Vicious Left hook, i really think Barry has the ability to Mix the aggression with an element of Boxing like he did against Laporte, Jeff is so streight-line predictable, he climbed all over Villasana but not surprisingly couldnt dent him, Barry would be firing back, anbd not just Responding, but initiating, with a bit more finesse than Jeff, a tough hard fight for sure, but i think Barry's ripping body shots would pay dividend down the line, I may be a voice in the wilderness, but Barry, who had his own super-stamina, would i think prove a little to educated for Jeff, - I prefer Jeff at Jr Feather.
