Barbados Joe was 5' 1'' yet he had a 17'' neck and 42'' chest.

Do any films of the fights of Barbados Joe Walcott exist? He was rather short, but strong and had a remarkable record. It would be interesting to watch him in action.

Sadly there is no film of this little maestro. We have to reconstruct his style from newspaper acounts.

Yes. Walcott can be seen as an old man hitting heavy bag, or in interview when he was a janitor in Madison Square Garden.

If hes 5'1 theres no way thats a 17 inch neck and 42inch chest. The neck and chest would be far more apparent on his dimensions

I can produce contemporary sources quoting those dimensions. The National Police Gazette and the Brooklyn Eagle both list those figures.

These are Walcott's measurements. He was a pit bull of a man.

Jeffries had a 50 inch expanded chest.

Here's a pic of Walcott when he was a janitor.

WRONG, I have film of him talking as a old man, talking about his run as a fighter. Take that.
