so I see that Walker liked fighting heavyweights and Floyd was a very small heavyweight so he would be within reach of victory Who likes Mickey's chances of a win?
Mickey walker was very tough and fought through a few weight classes. He was skilled, quick and durable. He managed to win a few heavyweight bouts too. I’d probably have to favor Floyd though. Patterson was also quick and skilled and could punch on top of that. He wasn’t terribly durable but I don’t think Walker had what it took to inflict enough damage to stop him
When I saw the thread title, I thought it was Floyd Patterson vs. Billy Walker? Canelo reminds me of Mickey Walker.
I think this is a more competitive fight, than some people might think, but down to brass tacks. As a smaller man stepping up to fight a man the size of Patterson, would you really want to pick the one with the fastest hands? When an opponent is bigger and faster, you have got a big problem.
