Floyd Patterson vs Jersey Joe Walcott

Walcott

 

Wlacott KO's Patterson with one of his sneaky counters, while slightly behind on the cards.

 

If we are talking about the champion Walcott, Floyd by KO. Early. The wheels were falling off Joe. He needed slow targets to still find the window. Floyd was too quick of hand and foot. He overwhelms Joe and makes an early night of it.

 

Floyd was the more athletically gifted of the two but Walcott was a cagey dude that was one of the best at exploiting a weakness. Really a pickem fight but I would put my money on Jersey Joe's ring IQ. Stylistically a very interesting fight.

 

Both at their best Patterson by KO. Walcott boxes cutely for an early lead. Out of nowhere Floyd lands a significant blow and Joe goes down and can’t beat the count. Many speak about Floyd’s lack of whiskers but Walcott’s chin was questionable at best.

 

Walcott KO mid rounds, Patterson presses him early and is ahead on the cards

 

Mark the Calendar. On this day, WE AGREE!

 

Prime for prime, Walcott,by ko.

 

I could see either winning, I think I'd make it pretty 50:50.

Walcott would only need a counter or two to KO him (if he got them just right). But Patterson was very dangerous in his own right, and would force it more, and with his speed I think it's possible he could get to Walcott first.

 

When was he in his prime then?

Just the breif run up to the Joe Louis fight?

 

Up to the end of 48 I would say.

 

I'll Say Walcott .A sneak , sly punch from no where ,hss Floyd's leg s doing the Fandango !

 

Walcott by KO. He'd catch Patterson eventually
