    Walker tended to be outboxed and made to miss and be countered with the most skilled opponents he faced. I'm not sure he was prime at WW with his losses to Britton and Latzo. Also in the footage available of him at MW he seems to lack a jab or much in the way of head movement. This is always going to play into a master boxers hands. Little footage is available of Burley except for the Billy Smith, which is against a much bigger man at LHW. This is a bit misleading as he is in against a much bigger man, and its past prime footage, so hes likely to fight quite differently in his prime againt a similar sized man. Still we can see he is a master boxer, excellent at making his man miss and making him pay, excellent feinter and shot picker, with good hand speed.

    I always tend to pick the better skilled boxer who can make his opponent pay for lack of skill/defense, and i nthis match up that man is Burley - UD
