Peak Cleveland Williams v Champ Jersey Joe Walcott

You got the mortgage money burning a hole in your pocket and you have to bet on one of these two, an early 60's version of Cleveland Williams or an early 50's version of Joe Walcott.

Who risking home and hearth for?

 

Walcott by KO in 5th round.
Walcott was strong man, Williams was too crude for him and open to left counter, and guess who has the thunder countering left hook.

 

I was conflicted on who to pick but after reading this Williams KO6.

 

Williams was knocked by Satterfield, who was beaten in 3 rounds by Charles, and Walcott beat Charles.
Walcott Isn't Chuvalo or Satterfield, he's 10 times better than both of them.

 

Walcott, probably by stoppage or clear decision. Joe could be sloppy though, so I wouldn't bet on it.

 

This is not even close Walcott would toy with him and a majority of these athletes that try boxing.

 

Cleveland Williams beat John Holman, Wayne Bethea, and Young Jack Johnson, all of whom beat Charles who beat Walcott.

 

When Charles was past his best.
Charles last peak fight was with Marciano and after that he started to show his health problems.

Walcott avenged his losses and knocked Charles.
Charles and Walcott beat people who beat people who beat Sylvester Johns who also beat Williams.
Walcott is winning this one.

 

I’m favoring Walcott. Not convinced of weather or not it would be a decision or stoppage or KO. And Williams would certainly have a punchers chance.

 

You have nothing to offer this forum in terms of discussion. Resign.

 

Are you having a laugh? Ezzard was a shell by Rocky. He was a corpse by boxing standards when he was losing to the guys Williams beat.

 

Jersey Joe is far better all round than Cleveland whose only advantage is punch power. Walcott takes a clear decision.

 

Ezzard is just 2 years older than Rocky he was in good condition but his decline started after that fight.

 

Not really. His best years were probably 1945-1950

 

He was still good in early 50s.
