I'm glad to see Barkley get some well deserved recognition.

iran "the blade" barkley, one of the few fighters who knockout thomas "hitman" hearns in just 3 rounds. barkley was cut in both eyebrows, bleeding from the very first round. with cuts from both eyes, barkley go for broke in the third and succeeded in knocking out the hitman, the heavy favorite, in 3 rounds. honoring him is a fitting tribute to a fighter who once gave excitement to boxing fans.
