    Britton was 37 years old, yes. But he had just won a bout against a prime Benny Leonard via disqualification just four months earlier. And he was well ahead of Leonard on points, if you can believe it. Britton was a master strategist who was versatile enough to outbox the Great Bennah himself. Walker was another story. Too ferocious, too relentless. Too strong. BUT, those at ringside acknowledged that Walker, who was just 21 years old,

    "...had more than an ordinary knowledge of the science of fisticuffs."

    Mickey, in all likelihood peaked as a middleweight. At 25, he was there, and never went back to 147. Arguably, his peak performance was Hudkins II, and he came in at about 159.

    And guess what, he boxed an absolute clinic, though his shots were short and hard. He "viciously jabbed" the onrushing Hudkins until his face was a mask of crimson according to the dailies, countered him throughout the fight and just outboxed him in a masterclass.

    Naw, Mickey was a two pack a day smoker, so he would have more likely used Floyd's skull as an ashtray.

    :thinkY'know, that's a perfectly reasonable alternative. (Come to think of it, would Mickey even need to be sober to take him?)

    This is Mayweather VS Gatti, this dude is slow and a plodder. i guess since you assholes seen a few clips from Youtube of this slow bomber that he has some shot at beating Floyd. The dude was slow even on the few speed up clips i saw, THis is like saying slow ass Joe luis Vs ali or even lenox lewis or the KLits brothers, i see luis getting abused by all men in his prime.

    I guess your name really fits you, you have the IQ of a janitor, please respond with sound reasoning or stfu, because clearly you have nothing of substance to add to the debate. :tired

    You are the one comparing Mikey Walker to Gatti and saying that Joe LOUis would "loose to all men in his prime". Who are "all men" exactly?

    I do not find your contribution so far to be verry sound or laden with substance.

    What's he on about with Joe Louis as well?

    Having Floyds dick up his ass is obviously making him type some very strange things.
