    I think Walcott has a serious chance here not sure why he is being dismissed.

    Jersey was the best foot mover back then looked to me to be like a outboxer in the way he kept his distance but was more a brawler/ counter puncher he could catch George with some shots from counters but I dont see him doing a jim sense he was a way more advanced then wal and jim was a full outboxer and add jersey wasnt that tough for damage

    this is where that outdated movement like I always say comes in people will say Louis could beat George yet Jersey footwork was better and jerseys counters was way more all of a sudden like a mike that Louis never could do from 1 pinpoint punch

    louis would be destroyed way faster then jersey would like I said uptop jersey stance was more like a outboxer which I said mutiple time Louis would need to do to not be destroyed fast he would need to move they said I was wrong I wasnt

    Foreman should be the favourite here. But Walcott's a live underdog. And he definitely proved himself against quality opposition, not sure why people are acting like he was some kind of cream puff.

    By his contemporaries aka Press Walcott was considered a borderline journeyman................fact not fiction.............his record supports that too.

    Foreman by murder, rather quickly too.............Walcott is way too chinny to survive a fire fight with Foreman ......what people tend to forget that Foreman actually could box when he wanted to, was a Olympic Gold medal winner, had a dynamite jab and cut the Ring off rather nicely...Walcott can run but cannot hide......Foreman aint no 185 pound Bleeder who needs 600 rounds to grind down washed up old balding fighters.

    One more time , Foreman is all wrong for Walcott.

    no doubt JJW was tricky and slick but i think young GF gets him outta there in 4 rounds or so.........i think old George would get to him in 7/8 aswell
