12 or 15 Rounds Middleweight and Super Middleweight Bout
Eubank would out-box the Blade with long jabs and combinations to either take a decision or late round stoppage at both middleweight and super middleweight or would Barkley took longer than his first Hearns to catch Eubank off the ropes, then nailing him with heavy punches to stop him in late rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?
Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
It was exactly the fight Eubank needed on his resume....although the Benn/Watson rivalry was excellent.
With Eubank it is just so hard to know what he could've really done and where his level was actually at and that's massively frustrating into the bargain.
Benn beat Barkley, so Eubank beats Barkley feels a bit simple.

Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
Eubank definitely had tools to outbox Barkley and most likely he would utilize those successfully.
Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
It's one of those styles makes a fight contest.
Iran has boxed high world level level fighters so he's in the game.
Put him up against a boxer like Eubank and he could get picked apart.
Could argue this one all day.
For now ... Eubank Decision

Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
I also really like it as a match-up....nice pick Scorpio 
Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
My first thought is Eubank pts. Then again, maybe Barkley would roughhouse his way to a pts win. Hard one to call.
Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
You're welcome Scorpio...it deserves some discussion.

Re: Chris Eubank vs. Iran Barkley
I figure Eubank would've taken most rounds against Barkley. Barkley might've been able to successfully rough him up enough to take 3 to 4 rounds, but Eubank would take a UD.
