    I believe Sam Langford said that Walcott was the hardest hitter he ever fought ...

    I appreciate that. But when I said I had never seen footage I was referring to what he looked like in a boxing match. All good though thanks

    I lean a little towards Walcott, based on what I read he was the strongest little man that ever lived and a vicious body puncher

    Walcott's power is definitely an underrated factor in the fight. He's arguably the hardest puncher Robinson ever fought
