I always thought these two were evenly matched,Charles a little quicker, Walcott a bit trickier with his body feints. Charles looks a little sloppy here TBH, his left is low and his right crosses seem slow and telegraphed. Walcott keeps launching his right, but Charles sees it coming and ducks it. I don't see anything special if I'm honest.
Going in against a tricky boxer like Jersey knowing you have to outbox him. That enough deserves credit. Knowing this man had already beaten prime Burley at MW and prime Moore at LHW. Staggering how great Charles was.
Keeping in mind that we are seeing the final rounds looks pretty sharp. I have often wondered what was Charles optimal weight? Did you pack on pounds in order to compete as a heavyweight? Could he have stayed at light heavy?
