Iran Barkley Suffers A Stroke

[mikeeod]

Barkley had some great quotes back in his day. Before he fought on the triple header with Roy n Toney on HBO they were asking about his surgically paired eye. Barkely told the guy not worry about it, he seems him very good. He said ask that guy how is Jaw is, cause I'm gonna hit him on it.

He also had one where some uppity press guy asked him what he was going to do after boximg and Iran told him he was going to rob his house. Not funny writing it, but his delivery with that heavy street New York accent was perfect.

Tough dude for sure. HUGE middleweight. I have to say though that Toneys fight vs Barkley was a masterpiece. Another forgotten fact is that after that triple header Hopkins n Butch Lewis showed up n called out both Toney n Barkely which quickly escalated to a mini riot. The good old days...

All In all I'm glad he was tougher than this stroke and wish him good health long life and comfort.
