    what kind of fight would this be between the hit man and the toy bulldog? i believe walker squeezes out a win here.

    Can Walker take everything Hearns throws and come back to knock him out? Some people will say he can based on his exploits at higher weights against bigger men but that doesn't mean he didn't get stronger and more durable as he went up in weight and there was talk of him being drained at the weight. Hearns speed and accuracy would see him open up on Walker early and I see him pulling the KO or maybe a cuts stoppage. I don't think Walker has an adequate defence or technical skill to have enough success here, although a late come from behind KO is a possibility

    Hearns could out-box Walker at this weight I think. I think once Walker gathered more experience, especially experience against men of Tommy's type of range, Walker would win.
