Old guard vs Sharkey as Walker bout nears in New York
Henry McLemore reflects on Edward Walker facing Jack Sharkey in a bout that could erase the last of boxing’s old guard. He contrasts 1922 champions like Dempsey Siki Leonard Dundee Kilbane Lynch Villa with today’s stars Schmeling Rosenbloom Canzoneri Battalino. Walker’s bruised look and Sharkey’s clean-cut image frame a clash of eras as fighters’ personalities differ as much as styles.
