It's amazing how many fights he had across his great career. The fact that he beat fighters who were so much bigger than him makes you wonder how good he could have been today. I always thought Carlos Monzon could have beaten anyone in the history of the Middleweight division but Walker. Monzon was like the prototype of fighter Walker looked best against. Tall, rangy, good jab. Mickey took those guys apart. He took the big slow guys apart, too. I think he struggled the most against little faster guys. Oddly enough, probably against fighters his own size who liked to move. They say Walker was really like a bulldog in the ring and at his best, like Harry Greb, he was really difficult to beat.
