The wins over a past his best and past his best weight Hearns were the highlight of Barkley's career....The only title fights he was successful in were against Hearns
Iran Barkley KOED Hearns once , then beat him on points , also he KOED Darrin Van Horne in a title fight. Iran was a good fighter.

I always felt his whole career was based on his wins over Tommy...If he never fought Hearns there is a chance Barkley would hardly be mentioned at all.....

There have been worse champion I agree But it is just IMO on him.....Worst title holder ever not by far...just one that came to mind quickly
