How would of Micky Walker done against dempsey?

[Joey Giardello]

Do you give walker a good chance of pulling of a upset?

[CarlosG815]

This fight could go either way. They both had similar styles. I think the fight would be incredible, but I'd give it to Depmsey who had a higher KO ratio.

I think they had the same trainer didn't they?

I am a BIG fan of Mickey Walker as he was a friend of mine during his last years, BUT Dempsey would have stopped him the same way as Schmeling did, maybe even worse.

Credit where it's due, for a natural welterweight of only 5'7" he made the transition to the heavier weights very well indeed.. He lost a razor tight DC to Harry Greb at MW, won and lost against Maxie Rosenbloom, beat Mike McTigue and Paul Berlanbach at LH, and lost another cliff-hanger to Tommy Loughran..
At HW, he beat several good contenders including European champ: Paulino Uzcudun, and fought to a draw with a young Jack Sharkey but was KO'd by Max Schmeling..
He became known as the 'Toy Bulldog,' mainly due to his performances against bigger guys, but i can't help seeing Jack Dempsey as a fully grown 'Pitt-Bull,' in conparison..
As good as Walker was, i think he gets KO'd 'Carpentier style' in this one..

Walker is also, the only Welterweight Champion that was ever rated in the top 10 in the Heavyweight Division.

i knew dempseys and walkers trainer ted hayes. i never asked him that question but i imagine dempsey would have koed him pretty badly. walker always consisdered dempsey the best heavyweight ever and he never sparred with demsey because he walker , was not very keen to do so. probably would have been a war with walker on the canvas. walker- boy what a tough boxer puncher he ever was .

[sonnyboyx2]

IMO Dempsey would have won KO4
