    Mickey Walker vs Roberto Duran at Middleweight.

    Both guys moved up to fight at higher weights than their "prime".

    Both won a "Middleweight" title, with Duran losing 3 shots at a Supermiddleweight title, and Walker (165lbs) lost by SD to Tommy Loughran for the LtHvy title.

    Walker of course had some "success" at hvyweight, weighing around 175lbs .

    Walker: 5' 7", 67" reach
    Duran: 5' 7", 66" reach

    Who wins?

    Gotta go with Walker he was a bulldog and his stamina must have been something else to fight with Greb at the pace they were said to have fought at...it would be a good fight

    At this weight, I'd pick Walker too. 147 is a different story

    It would be similar to Duran v Barkley ..but with Duran being on the losing side .Good entertaining fight.
