Mickey "The Toy Bulldog" Walker 109(58)-21-4
Manager: Absolut
The man knicknamed "The Toy Bulldog" was a welterweight and middleweight champion but ultimately won the hearts of boxing fans by fearlessly taking on heavyweights and light heavyweights. His aggressive attacking style also became Walker’s trademark in the future and audience loved him from the beginning.
Infamous for his neglect of training, Walker often came to the morning weigh-ins straight from a night club or a brothel. Walker lost the welterweight crown to Pete Latzo in 1926, but of course went on to bigger and better things on the heavier divisions.

Manager: V.RIARCA76
Young Corbett III began boxing while still a 14-year old newsboy. On February 22nd, 1933 Corbett captured the welterweight championship of the world by decisioning Jackie Fields over 10 rounds. Three months later, he was dethroned by Hall of Famer Jimmy McLarnin via a shocking one round knockout.
*** It should be noted that according to one of my sources (A gentleman by the name of Sam Dixon) McLarnin was believed to have padded gloves when he fought Young Corbett. The cheat! ***
