    The best Walcott vs the best Moorer. How does Walcott deal with a hard punching southpaw?

    He doesn't. He loses fairly badly.

    I think the best version of Jersey Joe Walcott would beat the best version of Michael Moorer, most times, but I do not think it would be easy. for him. I am going with Jersey Joe by decision.

    Moorer stops Walcott. Joe would not enjoy being at the end of Michael's quick, southpaw assaults, and that's without even adding his strength into the mix...

    Walcott is too tricky for Moorer. If he catches Michael, he would stop him.

    I'll go with Jersey Joe, but he had a tendency to run hot and cold so it's not a certainty .

    All depends on how Walcott handles the southpaw stance he certainly times the counter right well, which could work against Moorer when Walcott slips and throws the counter, Moorer sometimes got lazy with his head and feet movement, meaning he’d slip to his left, but not enough to covet completely off centre line, which would mean Walcott could time that right.

    It massively depends on how Walcott handles the southpaw stance.

    If it's Joe on his best night, he makes Moorer look foolish.
