    Walcott to win imo. But Moore is deceptively dangerous as he comes in cross armed. Walcott will be caught and buzzed a few times but Jersey always gets out of the way before Moore does any serious damage. At some point Moore comes forward looking to land, when Jersey will strike with a quick response hook. That will put Moore down. Moore will be on ***** Street then and Walcott will finish him off with a barrage of punches. Walcott wins by ko round 8

    At heavyweight I think Walcott is Moore's superior in every department, so it's a relatively easy pick for me, Walcott and by stoppage.

    I would agree with this, Walcott was a cagey sharpshooter with pin point accuracy,this would not be a gradual beat down ,but rather a sudden lights out finish ,imo

    Definitely. Two of my favourite figures from that 40 s /50 s era, where having certain guys had to plug away for years in obscure towns and cities, and for little or no reward. But finally got their just reward s at a advanced age.
