    By Ko??? In over 80 fights, Barney Ross was never knock out, We are talking about one of the atg's in chins right here. I dont see Walcott doing what others had failed.

    I also think Ross would outbox Walcott imo.

    Yeah it isnt a bad point. I got maybe a bit carried away. Walcott fought heavier opponents and arguably even better, but this was sometimes to his undoing particularly as he got older.

    Ross is a great, also, though i dont think he fought the bigger punchers that Walcott did. Either way, it looks like the majority is in your favour.
