    Qawi comes in at 190 pounds for this fight. He fights the Walcott of the first Louis fight. Who wins?

    I go with Qawi, but I'm biased.

    Qawi has the stylistic advantage, but you would go with Walcott's resume.

    I think Walcott, but Qawi might’ve been the naturally bigger guy which is weird to think about.

    You once said Walcott cleaned out the top ten as good as Liston can you explain that? I actually just wanna know and you’ve got the goods.

    Walcott though in a buzzsaw of a battle at times. He carried his power at heavyweight far better, moved EXTREMELY well, and was adept at inside fighting as well.

    The men that he beat are indicated in red.

    Most of the men he missed lost to somebody that he beat.

    I submit that if Walcott had never held the title, he would have been among the very best contenders never to do so.

    Willie Reddish said Joe Walcott was the strongest man he ever boxed.

    Wasn't Willie Reddish the trainer of Sonny Liston?

    Quality post.

    Worth noting that he was very often malnourished and ill-prepared because of financial struggle.
