    Gets KO'd by Sonny Liston (but what a fight that would be, wonder how Walcott would react to fighting in a match that's referee'd by himself) (Also Walcott wins if Liston's shoulder decides to tear or takes a dive)
    KO's Cooper
    KO's Mildenberger
    KO's Patterson
    UD's Chuvalo
    KO's London
    KO's shot Williams
    UD's Terrell
    KO's Folley

    Man I thought I was a big Joe fan lol. Walcott has a ko ratio of 46% and you have a figure in the 80’s against solid comp.

    I think joe beats them all but Liston and I Will put Patterson at 50/50.

    Edit: I would call him a real live dog to Liston as well.

    To be fair Walcott was starving and barely got any notice for his earlier fights, and all of his losses hurt the KO ratio as well. Im looking at his more peak feats, KO'ing Charles, knocking Louis down 3 times, knocking Marciano down for the first time in his career, Marciano calling him the hardest puncher he ever fought, his first round KO of Shkor, etc.

    Starving is overselling it,imo looking at accounts of some of his early losses its clear he faded late in them,lack of preparation and adequate time to train was probably the main contributor to his defeats.

    On paper he beats them all individually (I am assuming the versions that Ali fought), but if he actually fights them, he likely picks up a loss.
