    Saw a middleweight rating that had Hopkins over Walker, I don't buy it.

    You could argue that Hopkins was a greater middleweight, but Walker has got it sewn up p4p!

    I think Walker gets underrated and forgotten. He was hardly the face first brawler some make him out to be. That said, Bernard is enough of a spoiler to eek out a decision. But only prime, on focus Bernard. Either side of that version and Walker gets this. I am shading to Hopkins.

    I could see this being the kind of fight where people were divided on who deserved the decision.

    This is 100% accurate.

    Walker spread himself thin across more weight divisions.

    This sounds right. Personally I think BHop gets overrated here while Walker is incredibly underrated on here almost forgotten. When the new clear video of him was posted a while back only @The Morlocks and I seemed like the only ones interested. I bump it up a few times but got nothing

    I think Mickey beats the Hopkins from the Taylor for fights
