If the prime Middleweight version of Iran 'The Blade' Barkley was around today and he challanged the new Middleweight King Jermain Taylor what do you think would happen?
Barkley is a totally different fight for Taylor than Hopkins was and styles make fights. Would Barkley be too strong and out hustle Taylor? Or would Taylors speed allow him to blunt 'The Blade'?
Bit early to say but I think Iran would be too much of an animal for Taylor... Barkley is very underrated imo, few people remember that he was a 3 weight world champ... never got an easy fight. I'm not overly impressed with Taylor... have always considered Hopkins overrated... Barkley would have beaten them both I think.
