listen to the commentator at the start.

i mean who exactly ranked Walker as the best middleweight ever? its shite talk,Walker was a great fighter though.....tough and dangerous and ballsy as fuck,but the facts are that Greb beat him at middleweight,Flowers was robbed against him at middleweight.both were better middleweights than Walker was and everybody knew it.

It's just hype as usual from Jim Jacobs and the Big Fights Inc.

Not letting facts get in the way of a good story.

@TheGreatA ESPN own the catalogue now, dont they ?

Are they getting much play on american tv ?

[TheGreatA]

They do, but from what I've heard they don't show the rare fights in their possession but rather the same old Ali/Tyson fights over and over.

@TheGreatA

tell me,do you remember the footage of Walker sparring that was on youtube?

it showed his training camp,some jogging,and posing with Kearns.It was a brilliant piece of film,but its not to be found any more.Do you know anything about it?

[TheGreatA]

Must have been RareBoxing's footage. His account was suspended, but he said he'll be back.

[MrBumboclart]

@TheGreatA Do you know if RareBoxing is ever coming back? One day I hope to log into YouTube and see a Harry Greb fight uploaded by you...maybe someday.

That's rreally the shit thing about lists, they take so much away from guys who don't quite make it... I mean who could say, w/ a straight face, that guys like lamotta, zale, flowers, papke, valdez (criminally underratted), hopkins, and others don't deserve to be there too? Undoubtably, though, the mws aren't what they used to be (hopkins only real great since 87!)

[RapedByRepublicans]

Agreed about walker and greb... its tough to rank guys like walker, tunney, and charles (as far as which class, I always rank mickey as a ww) mw of all time (not that anyone asked me, haha) srr, greb, monzon, hagler, ketchel (could be higher but its hard to say for sure... no film) but id have walker at 6 (if I were to rank him as a mw). But dick tiger prolly deserves better than 7... so tough, so subjective to try to boil down 100+ years into a list of a few names...
