    Definitely Walcott. But that doesn't make him more skilled.

    I think Johnson was the bigger puncher in his own division.

    Maybe, but I wouldn't. He never KOed anyone like Walcott did to Charles.
    Ugh, 10?

    Holyfield vs Qawi I
    Toney vs Jirov
    Bell vs Mormeck I
    Spinks vs Burnett
    Huck vs Afolabi 2
    Lebedev vs Jones

    Then take your pick from here I guess.

    Certainly. No one ever knocked out anybody the way Walcott knocked out Charles. Johnson seemed like more of a brute or bully though (ala Clay).

    I forgot the Spinks-Burnett fight. Definitely a top 10 fight. Probably in the middle or near the bottom though. Will check 3, 5, and 6. I've heard of them but never watched them, cuz I'm mostly not into the fights of this century.
