    I have to be honest, I'm really not seeing what your seeing here.

    To me Toney looked cool, calm and relaxed beforehand

    Even in the first round he has arms down by his side, takes a little walk away after landing a flurry of shots and is nailing Barkley with left hands to the body along with uppercuts

    He was intimidated by Barkley outside of boxing minutes. And rightly so.

    Couldn't have been that intimidated, he got in the ring and beat him up.

    In a controlled environment. Barkley was the one guy he’d of feared outside the ropes - Toney isn’t stupid believe it or not, he ran drugs in Michigan as a teen. He knew the Bronx in 1980 was that x10,000.

    Right so because one guy is from a rough area, and another guy is from a rougher area, the guy from the rougher area is automatically presumed to be the badder or more fearsome man? In my experience, that's b*llocks.

    Even Tyson told Benn to stay well clear of Iran Barkley. Calling him a ‘bad, bad man’.

    Nigel and Mike were partying with Mickey Rourke and Tom Cruise (who were ringside for Benn’s fight with DeWitt.) when the conversation of opponents came up. Barkley was the only guy Tyson told Benn to avoid.

    You do realise Barkley ran with the most prominent gang around probably in the world at the time?

    You literally don't know me or my background so you would be foolish to assume anything.

    You wouldn’t be typing on some internet board. You’d be fingerless, dead or inside if you were bad enough to last there.
