    160 pounds. 12 rounds

    For Roy, we can use the Hopkins' fight version, for Walker we can use the Milligan or Berlenbach version.

    I've always found Walker hard to rate, especially at middleweight where his stay was so short and what on paper was his best result (Flowers) was marred with controversy.

    Head to head, how does this play out.

    RJJ quite easy with a late round stoppage on cuts. Walker would have to fight him in a pre agreed telephone booth in order to land.
    Walker was tough as nails.

    Very difficult. On the one hand, Jones was probably too big and too fast. On the other, it's a hell of an ask for a fighter that inexperienced to take out Mickey Walker. Still, i'll take Jones to get the job done on a decision over ten or twelve.

    Walker by decision. Intriguing fight, though. Jones was great, but Mickey was an all time great.
