    Any chance for Artur to repeat the feats of Rocky and Louis?

    Walcott would leave a hole where Beterbiev's face used to be.

    It is fair to say that Joe Walcott is more slick than Smith Jr.

    Walcott is far too multi-dimensional and hits way too hard.

    This would be a cakewalk for good ol Jersey Joe.

    Folks have a lot of confidence in a man with 20 losses. I get that some of those losses are to legends like Charles, Louis and Marciano but too me, Jersey Joe wad way too inconsistent to bet on. Not saying he couldn't or wouldn't win, but I like Beterbiev's crushing power and consistency.

    On another note, Joe doesn't carry much, if any size advantage and I don't believe for a second he hits harder.

    There is a bit of difference between Joe Walcott and Joe Smith, isn't there?
