    Considering that a fit and ready Cooper was a much improved version of Marciano, this does not bode well for Old Joe.

    I agree prime vs prime, Walcott spanks Cooper, puts him to bed within 10 rds.

    I believe Bert is too inconsistent to make a proper guess but if i had to id say the style advantage belongs to Cooper at the very least but his gas tank and aggression betrays him when he is unable to efficiently catch the very elusive master with his best blows.

    Walcott TKO's Bert in under eight.

    walcott was def a better fighter. But every generation has that Bert who could put on an enjoyable competing fight with anyone occasionally pulling out a W. If I were betting it would be on Walcott. Whom at his best is an underrated fighter but could look extremely inconsistent at times.

    Walcott starts fast, Cooper comes back like he did against Holy, then Walcott snaps back to win by a decision or TKO from 7-12

    Jack Sharkey doesn't bode well for Lennox Lewis, either.
