    It's a bit like Pacquaio in a way. Against Marquez he never looked **** hot, a couple of rounds aside. But against bigger slower come forward boxers he looks **** hot.

    It's also quite possible Walker peaked above MW

    I wasn't there. Had to clean the Tommy guns for the Purple Gang that night. The record books say yes.

    Black murderers row. The most overrated and MYTHologized group of fighters in boxing history. Walker runs thru the bunch of them.

    Anyone who can give Archie Moore 6lbs and beat him is no myth.I wouldn't fancy Walker's chances of doing it.

    Yeah, it seems that everyone can be overrated ;)

    Walker is not the best ever eye-test wise, but I'm not sure if I've seen a brawler that impressed me more than him. Especially against bigger guys, he was magnificant.

    Burley would thrash Walker. Wide, wide UD.

    Wow, I didn't think that opinions would be so one sided. Is it because of styles, or because I'm overrating Walker?

    Steady fellow, my reply was on a light vein, just quoting the fighter you think was the greatest, thats all, we all have our opinions, I value and and respect most on this platform, as I hope do you, dont why you would condemn " most guys " along with myself, most guys posts I find interesting and informative.

    Have not been here very long but " most guys " seem fair and reasonable, but as I have learned today, not you.

    His entire career convinces me. You are talking an all-time great vs a bunch of guys who aren't even top shelf except boring Burley. OVERRATED!!!!! Burley also. Beating Moore is no qualifier of greatness. Charles kicked both their asses and put them in the lane they belong. Now Charles WAS among the pantheon of the best with Walker.
