    Greetings Ferg! With all due respect I disagree.
    Styles make fights.
    "as Floyd bravely attempts to rise"?? When did that happen in his career? Liston; who said he hit Patterson harder than anyone he ever fought! China chin? Nonsense. Ingo 1? He didn't "bravely attempt to rise", he just kept getting up!
    I love Joe, truly love him, but he didn't have nearly the power of Ingo's right (which hit Floyd right on the button) and Sonny's arsenal!
    In closing, if the passive Floyd showed up, he cops a UD or loses a close UD. If the Ingo 2 Floyd shows up (we should have seen more of that!!) Walcott, at some point, goes down and stays down or?...loses a lopsided decision. My $0.02

    Walcott rather easily
