    We're throwing together the Sharkey that was doing so well against Dempsey til getting KO'd

    And the Walcott that was doing so well against Louis til getting KO'd ?
    Who'd come out on top ?

    It's a terrific match up but I lean to Sharkey, the 26 - 28 version who was a hell of a fighter. This is a very interesting match up.

    Great matchup but I have Jersey Joe winning. I think he is one of the most under rated heavyweights of all time. Most agree that he beat Joe Louis the first time they fought and he was definitely beating Rocky until he got caught in the 13th. Wins over Charles, Maxim, and Bivins--the guy was great!
