Zale has one of the best body attacks in middleweight history. He was noted for chopping some very good middleweights down like trees and Barkley will be standing there in front of him. There is no lack of toughness or courage on Mr. Barkleys part though - this will be a long night and an entertaining fight and I would expect both guys will have their moments. Barkley's haymakers will be difficult to employ when Tony has his head in Iran's chest and his hooks in Iran's ribs. Tony by UD or late TKO
zale wins but it would be a distance fight and if a tko did occur it would be in the late stages of the fight
same, but barkley could be a hellish night for any come forward fighter (benn fight not-withstanding)
Zale...great body attack...great right to the body left hook to the head combo...ask Graziano...(if you could...)
Zale. People forget how much punishment Barkley took against Hearns. He had broken ribs I believe. Zale COULD do that and was very tough it would be a long night for Barley and I could see Zale stopping him between rounds 7-12.
