The blades resume

Barkley kept some pretty tough company didn't he ?
Sumbu kalambay
Tommy hearns
Roberto Duran
Michael Nunn
Nigel Benn
James Toney
Henry maske
Trevor berbick

Took his lumps in some of those but was always a danger, also went in with the likes of olajide (can't spell ! ), kinchen, van horn and scypion, thought he did well for his limited ability.

[Tomasino]

He did amazing for his hand speed and skill level. Tough man and very heavy handed. He's been in some great fights. He was Hearns nemesis.

I see buncey talking about Barkley and something like a year after he fought benn he was fighting in some dive in Vegas for $200 ....quiet sad

[Controversial]

Barkley had a mild stroke in 2014, think he's ok though. He was homeless at one point after blowing all his money and I think he was even contemplating a comeback last year aged 54. Tough guy, I always wondered what would of happened in the Benn fight if the 3 knockdown rule wasn't in effect.

I read somewhere that Iran used to get regular beatings off his sister who used to run the block where they lived.
