Is Herschel Walker Still In His Athletic Prime?

From HeraldNet.com:

Walker passed the "most strenuous tests that possibly you can impose on an athlete."

A stress test on Walker's heart given by a "major cardiac institution," Fields said, produced the highest score of anyone ever tested by facility.

"He's in as fine a shape as Muhammad Ali or any of these people we've had the care of," said Fields, a former U.S. Olympic team physician. "This guy is 47 going on 22, as far as his physical fitness goes."

The combination of this (if true) and the fact that Walker's opponent is rather inexperienced himself should lead to a victory for Herschel has he actually put in his gym time.  I have a hard time believing that this fight wasn't completely set up for Walker to have the right kind of opponent for the style he brings.  This is far more manageable than Johnny Morton stepping into the ring against Bernard Ackah and getting put to sleep.
