    All I recall of that fight is that Benn is a complete piece of **** who continued to hit Barkley when he was down.

    Great fight, youtubed it just now.
    To me, it's inconclusive. Barkley beat the counts, if there was no 3 KD rule he could have survived the round, but who knows really:biggrin:

    Do you think as highly of James Kinchen who nearly did the same thing as Iran Barkley, Marvin Hagler, and Ray Leonard?

    Barkley clearly could have continued were it not for the 3kd rule.

    No one disputes this.

    That's not to say Benn wouldn't have forced a stoppage at some point, but clearly Barkley could continue.

    That's maybe top 5 of the best first rounds I've ever seen. Thank God the ref stopped it before a classic could happen.

    Benn recovered quickly, he was genuinely hurt too.
    It's a terrible rule, good that it's been abolished. I have a feeling it could have lasted a few rounds like Foreman Lyle.
