    i believe hagler is a bit bigger and stronger than walker but walker is as tough as a nickel steak and that could make the difference in the championship rounds.although hagler is always on the hunt in any round and never seems to have any tendency to coast.tough tough match to call. how would walker and hagler do with joey giardello?

    Walker did very well at lhw and hw though. Hagler didn´t even try fighting there. And it wasn´t like Walker fighting nobodys there. He fought atgs. And he only got beaten down once up there. And he was fighting them more than boxing them. I think Walker was the stronger one actually. Both can fight, both can box. Both are similar good in both. It may be that Hagler fighting in a southpaw stance troubling Walker. But seriously, I don´t know. It´s a fight I love to see though.

    Giardello at his very best can beat both. Every other version gets beaten I think. The Giardello of the third Tiger fight would beat any mw I have seen film of IMO.

    Stronger?? When I see Hagler beating heavyweights, I might change my mind.

    Walker knocked someone out with one of the most devastating left hooks I have ever seen. I never saw someone throw a hook like that in my life

    Hell of a scrap. A tough as nails MW vs. the best MW. The toy bulldog sure won't be easy to best, but best him Hagler will...by UD.

    Saw this fight before. But this is the clearest version of the great Mickey
    Walker. What a great fighter he was.A tough SB. Not for nothing was he
    named the "TOY BULLDOG". To think that one year before, one eyed,
    past his peak Harry Greb, gave Walker a whipping at MSG. Not for nothing
    is harry greb called best fighter p4p.
