    He'd probably still have a flip out phone with an antenna.

    It could go a lot of different directions. If he had started younger with an amateur back ground, quality training, and well managed prospect career he might have been a solid force. In all likelihood however he’d be better suited at cruiserweight. The other thing is that part of what made Walcott so good in his own time was the rough road he took to the top. Might not be the same today
