    Is Vernon Forrest the modern day Iran Barkley

    Just like Barkley beating Hearns 2x, Forrest beat Mosley 2x. But Forrest like Barkley really hasnt done to much in his career

      Forrest refuses to fight southpaws.

      Barkley didn't.

          to be compared with iran barkley is exactly not a bad thing...

          barkley was a 3 weight titlist who existed in a very tough era of middleweights...

          it was an era that featured nunn, toney, benn, mcclellan, eubanks, olajide & kalambay...

          i would favor him to beat forrest in a head to head confro...

            Injuries/inactivity hurt Forrest. He coulda done more.

              Forrest has better skills than Barkley, Barkley is more a brawler and less complete.

                barkley had underrated skills kimosave... he did everything right against duran during their fight... it was just duran was never to be denied in that fight...

                anyways, no brawler beats thomas hearns... twice...

                  That Duran vs Barkley fight is very underated. I just watch that fight 2 days ago. I agree if you brawled with Hearns it was lights out
