    I rate Ketchel could beat the 80s babies (Dokes, Weaver, Page, Spoon, Thomas, Tate etc)

    Without a doubt, if you're actually talking low level Heavyweights against top notch Middles. There should be no question there. It'd be the basic equivalent of a smaller, but trained/experienced gym rat against a larger novice.

    Walker was ranked in the top 3 in heavyweights in his day while he himself was around the middleweight range.

    I belive he could beat the bums lower level heavyweights of today.

    Weigth difference does show. Mike Spinks was knocking light heavyweights dead, yet didn't seem to be more than misquito bites the two times he outboxed Holmes. Bob Foster...same story against heavyweights.
