    Yes! Picture perfect. I certainly laugh when people make fun of Walcott being old when he fought marciano. He still looks pretty good to me at age 37 here, what about you??

    I’m doing my Michael spinks article today gonna post it later. making a strong case for him p4p

    I love watching Jersey fighting .What a amazing character he was .And that oldest man to win the title record stuck around a lotta years.

    Here's hoping you make a Foremanesque comeback a little while down the road.

    Actually it was broken the same year that Walcott passed away by George Foreman.

    How ironic .Its funny, but 37 would have seemed old in the Fifty s in boxing. Jersey must have being given very little chance of beating Charles at his "" advanced age""

    I believe Walcott's oldest son was 18 at the time he won the title, which was something considering that Walcott himself turned pro at 16.
