    I'm currently doing the Official Original 8 + ATG Survey Rumsfeld has put together.

    Not that I'm confident in many of my picks at all, but for whatever reason, Mickey Walker is really throwing me for a loop when it comes to his welterweight resume.

    He was obviously a great fighter on resume alone. I'm just not sure he did enough at Welterweight to be top 15, however, other ATG lists have him even listen in the top 10 and 5, while others have him out entirely.

    Skew my survey results, I currently have Tito at 15 all time, I love his dominance at the division, but could at a minimum see me replacing him with Walker.

    Debating if he should make my top-15, is all.

    Guys who might keep him out are the likes of Curtis Cokes, Luis Rodriguez, Jimmy McLarnin and Felix Trinidad. Wouldn't be disgusted seeing a couple of them above him, but wouldn't favour it either.

    No, I meant I wasn't sure what it meant in terms of being good that I had him on my list...…..

    Joke fail.

    Sorry, lol, went over my head, perhaps I'm taking this a bit too seriously.

    Tell me about it... I’m spending a good 2 hours a day whilst at work on it.

    Actually, thinking about it, maybe i’m not taking it too seriously. I just don’t take my job seriously lool

    #2 Welterweight ever behind Robinson who he would beat in a series. Armstrong would be KOd by Walker

    You guys on here really have no concept or respect for the greatness of Mickey Walker. It is astounding to me.
