    If they fight three times, it probably ends 2-1 in favor of Walcott.

    Both were excellent boxer-punchers of similar size. The difference is that Walcott was not an obese drug-addict.

    Walcott 7 out of 10 times.

    By the way, I was really big on Witherspoon when he came back out of nowhere to knock out Anders Ecklund on Tuesday night fights. I really thought he was going to make something of himself, finally. What a fool I was.

    Both unpredictable Guy's ,both very talented. But for those particular version s I'd Walcott .But by a skin of his teeth verdict .That Spoon was young and inexperienced ,so I say Jersey gets through the rough patches to get the judge s vote. But a rematch is definitely in order.

    Tim by late round stoppage. Better chin and possibly stronger puncher.
