    Great pictures from Antiquities of the Prize Ring from before, during, and after the Walker-Sharkey "heavyweight" bout...

    http://www.antekprizering.com/walkersharkey4381.html -notice Walker is wearing shoes. He insisted on it because he was mortified about how high Sharkey towered over him.

    http://www.antekprizering.com/walkersharkey4382.html Keep in mind when looking at these pictures, that Mickey was not even 5'7, a natural MW, and Sharkey was the NUMBER ONE Heavyweight contender.

    http://www.antekprizering.com/walkersharkey4385.html Sharkey knew who was boss over those 15 rounds. And it wasn't him.

    Duran at 6, Langford at 5, Charles at 4, Ray Robinson at 3, Harry Greb at 2 and Henry Armstrong at 1.

    I dunno why I just feel this is how it may pan out. Duran MUST make thetop ten, surely?

    Only fighters who reached their peak after 1920 are considered, for reasons given in "The Gods of War: Series Intro".

    Duran was a Manson wanna-be, and a BUM.
