Both were inconsistent .. I like Joe's speed and power but it is hard for me to pick a guy who despite moments of brilliance is almost always know for fights he lost ... putting aside the third Charles fight ... then again, he was old even when he fought Louis so have to go w him ..
Oh, you are right, should have known that actually. Hard to say who would win, but a prime Schmeling would probably be favored.
I'd expect Walcott to take a close-ish decision, but wouldn't bet on it. Schmeling was very capable of boxing well and/or landing a fight-altering right hand.
I like Walcott here, but both men were awkward to fight. Both had good power, although Walcott's more fluid movement could befuddle Schmeling. Walcott via SD
