    Who would win this matchup of tough Middleweights? "The Toy Bulldog" or "The Bronx Bull"? 15 rounds.

    A toughie.

    I will take a safe course. Three fights. Mickey takes two. Jake one.

    Am I being ridiculous?

    No, This is very close, could go either way. Both would be toe to toe and the only difference would be Walker's slight power advantage. LaMotta would certianly be in Mickey's face and vise versa. IMO Walker squeeks by with a split decision win.

    Tough fight to call... both men had great chins so its a distance fight for sure. Both men also had similar builds and styles, so they would be in each other faces all night looking to pound the other guy into the canvas. I`ll go with Jake winning a very close fight, but this has trilogy written all over it and each fight would be close with neither man showing outright superiority over the other at any point.

    Good to be around mcvey, how have you been btw? I haven`t had the chance to drop by as often as I`d like, but better to come by sometimes than none at all. Did you get the chance to watch that DeMarco/Akins brawl yet? Let me know if you did.
