No. 83 - Mickey Walker

Mickey Walker is one of the boxing legends of the early 1900s with one of the very best nicknames - "The Toy Bulldog."

He earned the nickname by fighting anyone anywhere. He was both welterweight and middleweight champion during his career, beating Hall of Famers Tiger Flowers, Lew Tendler, Jack Britton, Dave Shade and Ace Hudkins.

He also took on and lost to such greats as Harry Greb and future heavyweight champions Max Schmeling and Jack Sharkey.

He remains in very high esteem on lots of expert lists. ESPN ranked him 17th on its list of 50 Greatest Boxers and historian Bert Sugar placed Walker 11th on his Top 100 Fighters catalogue. The International Boxing Research Organization has him as No. 16 pound-for-pound.

Yet on this list, he's in the bottom quartile exactly because he took a lot of losses. In his 18 significant fights (title fights or against Hall of Famers), he ended up just 10-7-1.
