    So far I am the only person to put Walker at #1.

    Hes definitly underrated

    I think him Ross & Moore are in the same bracket - all vying for a lower end top ten spot and interchangeable with each other. Just personal preference i like Ross as i think he has such an amazing skillset and one of the best fighters i have seen. Walker for his amazing P4P feats and Welter and Middleweight chmapionship reigns. Moore for longevity and quality for opponents.

    Wlaker ripped up every division from welterweight to heavyweight.

    He won the welterweight title, and later he held Jack Sharkey to a draw. In his next fight Sharkey beat the snot out of Primo Carnera.

    The Sharkey Walker fight actualy took place between the two Sharkey Schmaling fights!

    Walker was the #4 heavyweight contender before Max Schmeling finaly rationalised him and beat him down to size. When Schmeling atended Louis Farr, he walked past all the asembled heavyweright champions (Tunney, Sharkey Baer etc) right up to Mickey Walker and shook his hand.

    No way

    First he waited 5 years so that everyone else could soften up Hagler for him and then wasnt good enough to give Marvin a rematch. YOu hnestly believe he'd face Greb 4 times? He wouldnt survive 4 meetings with Greb let alone beat him and eve less, whip Dempsey twice then leave the sport with a 77-1 record. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


    Leonard is small potatoes by comparison :yep

    He doesnt match Moore's longevity either. Wheras Archie was defending his championship well into his 40s, look how miserably Leonard failed when faced with a younger man (Norris)

    the 5 divison argument is also bogus since his meeting with Hagler is too close and Lalonde was a tomato can

    Well if he had been good enough to beat Norris, Nunn, Jackson instead of wasting his talent on geezers, you'd have a case

    Frazier Hook meet our local village idiot. He thinks Camacho, Frank "The Animal" Fletcher, Juan Roldan, Tony Ayala and Julian Jackson are all greater fighters than SRL, just to name a few.

    John I dont remember saying that. I said they would undoubtedly all beat him. Only Camacho got the chance tho (and knocked him out)

    I doubt anarci was laughing at the time he saw it
