    I'm going with Jersey Joe by a landslide. Mayweather looks stiff and unconfident in comparison.

    This is not a Floyd hate thread. It's a proclamation.

    Mayweather sux never fought away from his own country.
    He never has and never will be an ATG.

    So basically, you've never seen Walcott fight. ****, saying not even close, you must have never ever heard of Walcott.

    You don't know who I am then. Of course I know who Walcott is, have seen him fight, have made my own thread about him. Saying I don't think it is close does not mean I don't rate Walcott. I do. I just don't believe this is much of a contest in a p4p sense. I think if I did another top 100 p4p, I'd have Mayweather around 50-60, I'd have Jersey Joe probably around 110-130. Therefore, I rate both highly but I don't see the argument for having Jersey Joe higher p4p at all.

    How?

    Walcott makes PBF look like Frankenstein. That's how fluid Walcott was. That mother ****er was perfect, and he fought back in the days where people wouldn't let you get away with running, so Walcott actually had to fight.

    Unfortunately, it may have cost him in his second fight against Louis, but he realized he had to do more after he lost the first fight in which many recent observers felt he won.

    In that era though, you had to actually fight for people to give you respect.

    And until Mayweather proves otherwise, Walcott is a much better fighter and a more skilled boxer. In fact, he's probably one of the most fluid boxers I've ever seen, definitely the slickest heavyweight of all time.

    Ali? ****...... Walcott was even slicker than him.

    Because he's a better fighter that took risks. Look at his resume. And when he did lose it was based more off of a generational bias rather than what a modern outcome of the fight based on scoring.

    He lived in an era where just playing defense, "running," in a sense was frowned upon, and it the crowd would basically force people to fight.

    Walcott could have won every fight he was in if he would have "run." But back then fighters had to fight.

    I mean, just watch his movement in the ring and if you break down the little things that he does, and then sit back and realize that modern day greats like Bernard Hopkins and even Ali gave him respect and learned from him, you will understand where I'm coming from.

    There is no fighter on Mayweathers record that was on the same level of skill and experience of Joe Louis or Ezzard Charles. Floyd never fought anyone as powerful, relentless or unstoppable as Rocky Marciano. Of course, out of all 7 of the fights against those guys, Walcott only won one. Arguably, maybe he should have gotten the verdict in the first Louis fight, but Louis flattened Joe in the return.
    It is unfortunate that Floyd left the sport with so many question marks. Sure, he shined against Corrales and Hatton. But if those are his two biggest wins (I don't count the waltz against a diminished De La Hoya), Mayweathers legacy will be diluted by time , and the other fighters like Berrera, Marquez and Paq, who fought everybody.
    As for Jersey Joe, he was a great fighter who lost all his biggest fights to those that were simply greater.
