Is Jersey Joe Walcott an ATG?

Do you think Walcott was the only black fighter with handicaps in the 40's and 50's?
How many fighters of that era and even today hold down a regular job whilst boxing?

Specifically.
For what fights was Walcott a last minute substitute?
For which fights did he go into the ring not having eaten?
Which of his losses were bad decisions?

 

I don't but, but I think the fact that others were hurt to does not mean that he was not hurt. That is called whataboutism.

I don't know the fights. It is part of the narrative of his life that I have read. I gave you the source.

Joe Louis was a terrible decision. About 70% of press felt that he lost.

 

You have no facts and no source,and in pronouncing the Walcott v Louis fight a horrible decision you are speaking from ignorance.
The score cards were 6-7 Walcott Referee,8-6 Louis Judge 1.9-6 Louis Judge 2.
No fight that close is a horrible decision either way.
Respected judges such as;
Al Buck
Nat Fleischer
John Lardner
Bill Corum
James P Dawson
Red Smith
And 15 others voted for Louis.All you have seen is 15 minutes of highlights,to arrive at a definitive decision based on that is a nonsense.

 

Sounds like an exercise in circular logic to me.

 

I think he’s worthy of hall of fame status which doesn’t necessarily require being an ATG. So in a round about sense, no. I consider Joe Walcott to be a “ very good “ fighter who achieved some excellent accolades but not an ATG.

 

I sourced it from where I read it, as we derived from your data, 70% of writers were truthful that Walcott beat Louis. You are in denial.

 

Then your argument is Sh it.

 

No, you have bizarre criteria that show a vat misconception of how malnutrition works. You might want to research that a little bit.
