    One must have not seen the Hudking fight, Walker put on a great display of boxing on the back foot vs Hudking. Walker was one of the few that could BOX and brawl. Its just that very few of his fights made it to film, and only the Hudking fight shows Walker boxing.

    well he is a top 2 lightheavyweight of all time, and many believe he got robbed in the 2nd charles fight, and he nearly knocked charles out in the 3rd fight.
