Mickey Walker VS Freddie Steele

Indeed

 

Great one. Thanks Seamus

 

Who likes the boring rides at an amusement park? Lolol

 

If Steele would have boxed more in his career I would pick him, but he was much more of an offensive moving puncher. Fred Apostoli was countering him a lot so I don’t know how the heck Steele could outbox Walker and avoid getting countered too much, especially given Walker’s great chin

 

Let's be fair, he fought Apostoli right at the end of his career.

 

Do you know any good boxing discord groups I could join?

 

Walker KO

 

Nope, mine is dead and the only other one i know of, that being sundaypunchers, is an absolute cesspool of the most casual, worst and mildly racist boxing takes

 

2 x fighters from the 30's & earlier who pass the eye test on film.

Most people will know about Mickey Walker, so I'll just add Freddie Steele looks extremely impressive in footage to me:

Observe how he utterly dominant he is against a truly world class MW in Vince Dundee -

Dundee was obviously a Tough Durable fighter who probably 'took a lot of punishment to win"... and God knows he fought A LOT.

However the few times I've seen Good Film of him, he looks a Poor Fighter indeed, with near no natural Boxing ability.

Steele, on the other hand, was the real deal!

 

Man this really was a great thread

 

Why tf is half the thread devoted to joker/tax driver?

 

Oh damn! What a fight!
