    Yeah, Sharkey doesn't have the hype Walcott does, but on paper it is really close.

    Probably, but Charles used very different kind of head movement. Sharkey had unreal reflex for heavyweight.

    Yeah, Sharkey was cool like that but Charles could slip and slide too, probably enough to warrant being at least on that level. Although I think he's a bit better.
