    I like an on-form Finnegan - he Beat Sterling Beat Boutier (in Paris) Beat Wildman Lucas, Beat Sibson, Gave Hagler a war first time round before stopped on cuts whilst they were Level and with Finnegan winning the last two round and Closing well, Gave Minter 3 tough battles, got revenge win over Tonna in Tonna's backyard, - make no mistake barring cuts and with Finnegan up for it, he has the toughness and boxing ability to beat Iran,
    Kevin was unflashy but when right had a lot of substance. Kevin did slip into high class trailhorse mode on occassion, perhaps just going through the motions to top up the Guiness Fund ! so the On-form Proviso is crucial. Kevin on points - he could go one better than Kitchen. Iran would soon find out that this Irishman is no Van Horn.

    Both guys too up-and-down to know what you'd get -- except that it would be an entertaining brawl.

    Best vs. best, I'd go with Barkley by decision in a very entertaining fight.
