    This one IMO.

    Walker was basically a better all-around version of Basilio from what I can see.

    The big question for me is whether Walker meets Basilio head on or attempts to outbox him. I think choosing to do the latter would bring more success for him, though opposite arguments could be made. Perhaps it's best he mixes it up and wins this way over a more one-dimensional Basilio (though in his dimension Basilio was a master).

    Gene Fullmer, like Mickey, was capable of turning boxer and stopped Basilio twice (although Carmen should have been allowed to finish their rematch). Watching Walker-Hudkins II, I like Mickey's versatility to carry the day here. He could vary his approach as need be.
