    If you knew anything about weight making you'd know your weakened by taking your body to a lower weight. Putting on weight in the right improves power/chin/strength that helps him compete at higher weights. Thus his success at higher weights doesnt necessarily make him a bad ass at the lower weight, otherwise

    People are acting like Walker was a Welterweight bad ass, and he wasnt, and he had inferior skills.

    Walker has little in the way of advantages in this match up, we all know who the better faster boxer is and its not Walker

    Now dont u have the pages of a Duran centrefold to unstick?

    You need new material.

    Powder-Puncher is less of a historian and more of a poser than he would ever admit. And he's no analyst, no matter how hard he tries.

    But it is fun to contradict him. No argumentation is necessary because anyone who knows what they are talking about out here knows how limited he is. He is totally immune to reason and logic.

    Thankfully there are only a few jerk-offs on the Classic forum. But this guy takes the title these days.

    Talking to yourself stalker, I know you have a habit of stalking men you need counciling. I'm sure you're still :| over being put in your place last time out

    Answer the post or STFU gimp boy, this forum is about sharing opinions on boxing, not stalking, Im the only 1 who's looked at this fight stylistically and looked at, but I suppose that'd go over your head

    Workrate does get stunted when a faster boxer beats his opponent to the punch and lands cleans. Its also stunted when the pressure fighter is made to miss and keeps getting countered. Workrate is also irrelevant if most of it doesnt land. A high workrate also leaves more countering opportunities. Your assumingFMJ cant throw at a high workrate, maybe he potshots to reduce countering opportunities. His workrate against the high output Hatton was higher, so he can raise his output and is known for his stamina

    Mayweather's also beat plenty with workrates of 60+ a round, Chavez was throwing 100 a round

    This idea that Mayweather has a stylistic advantage over Walker is utterly spastic. He was in a life and death struggle with Castillo, who presumably wasn't faster than him. Walker has much better pressure, a much better chin, and has a size advantage whatever you might think about the 15lb spurt he put on on his 25th birthday.

    It wasnt a struggle in the rematch and Hatton was supposed to be a better Castillo and we saw what happened there, DLH used the Castillo strategy and got outlanded 2-1. Walker had trouble with the boxer types he faced

    As for the weight, ofcourse Walker is weaker at 147 then when he didnt have to make 147 and he could carry more mass around. He got bigger and stronger as his career went on much like say Manny Pacquaio

    Do you think Manny Pacquaio beats Salvador Sanchez at 126lbs just because he gained 20lbs of muscle mass and had success at higher weights? I dont

    My new year's resolution is to refrain from debating dunces. And I'm not "stalking" you, clown, I'm harassing you.

    No, but it was in the first fight. Castillo literally isn't fit to hold Walker's j-strap. That's the gulf in class we are talking about. My congratulations to Floyd for doing well in the rematch, but come on, it doesn't bode well for him.

    Which smaller counter-punchers did he struggle with?

    That wasn't your original claim. Your original claim seemed to be a doomed effort to iron out the size advantage Walker would so clearly have. The man carried 175lbs.


    Yeah, definitely, that's what i think :roll:

    What's funny about that?


    This thread inspired me to re-watch Schmeling vs Walker. Great fight that one. Schmeling was good.
