Hard hitting hard drinking Mickey Walker was a
classic brawler who loved fighting for its own sake. He ran
through millions of dollars during his lucrative career, living
the life of a playboy whose off-hours carousing did little to
affect his prowess in the ring. Compact and heavily-muscled,
Walker had a repertoire of punches to mince the opposition, no
matter what their weight class. He was a champion for nine
years, holding the welterweight and middleweight titles
successively.
