What if? Iran Barkley vs. Juan Roldan
Posted: 10 Jul 2026, 08:29
12 (or 15) Rounds vacant WBC Middleweight Title
Hearns KO Roldan to win the vacant WBC Middleweight title, but he ended up losing his title to Iran "The Blade" Barkley in an upset in their first fight.
Now here's the scenario. What if Barkley who beat Hearns in the first fight faced Roldan who lost to the Hitman for the vacant WBC Middleweight title. Imo, Roldan would have his moment early to rattle Barkley a bit, but Barkley would pound him back in the later rounds on the body and head, then he stopped Roldan with a big right hand in 11 rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?
