How does this unfold at middleweigh?

Mugabi rocks Barkley in the early rounds but eventually runs out of gas and is stopped on 9-10 rounds.

How I see it also.

The prime mugabi who fought Hagler stands achance but any other version of Mugabi gets carved up by the Blade.

Barkleys boxing skills are a little underrated he wasnt quite as one dimensional as he appeared against Toney and Hearns. Its just when he was up against a superior boxer he found after the kalambay loss that brawling was the best way rather than trying to box like he did for 2 rounds in Hearns I

I think if Mugabi can't dent him early on, then he gets busted up late.

I agree. Like someone else said, only the prime Mugabi that fought Hagler would have a shot here. Any other version gets worn down and stopped...

Prime Mugabi i think could stop Barkley in midrounds.

Mugabi after fight against Hagler gets KO in early rounds.
