    Great fight. Maybe Dillon by a hair, as he was substantially bigger naturally.

    Walker p4p the greater and Dillon naturally a little bigger....the only pick I'd be confident in is that it would be a barnburner.

    Hi Buddy.
    I also fancy Dillon to come out victorious in a hard, tough brawl, your assertion that Jack was " substantially " the bigger man is not borne out by their weight and height, Dillon- 1.71m Walker-1.7m , both have fought at anywhere from 160 to 175 over their long careers, plus fighting bigger heavier men, held no fears for The Bulldog.
    Risko- 27lb heavier
    Wright- 42lb " "
    Sharkey- 30lb " "
    Levinsky- 23lb " "
    Uzcudum- 27lb " "
    Schmeling - 14lb " "
    De Kuh - 48lb " "
    That said I get your point that he was naturally bigger.
    Enjoy your posts Bert, as always.
    stay safe buddy.

    Dillon was no stranger to giants himself, beating 204 pound Frank Moran and 205¾ pound Tom Cowler.
