15 round bout. Both Bronx-born, both had tremendous power, and both could be kayoed. Who survives?

On paper it looks like a close match up. So I figured in the intangables.

Iran Barkley is one fighter who got every last drop out of his talent. He is the poster boy for over achiever and what heart he had!

Alex Ramos was a much balleyhooed & highly touted prospect who, to me at least, seems like his pro career fizzeled out and he never did achieve all that was expected of him.

I can see Barkley stopping Ramos late. If they would have fought, I can almost envision "The Blade"'s eyes all puffy and almost closed, his lip hanging half way off and yet, he's still standing in the center of the ring while Ramos refuses to answer the bell for round 15.

I have great respect for Iran Barkley.
