    Joe Louis
    Muhammad Ali
    Jack Dempsey
    Jack Johnson
    Gene Tunney
    Sonny Liston
    Muhammad Ali
    Joe Frazier
    George Foreman
    Larry Holmes
    Mike Tyson
    Lennox Lewis
    Either Klitschko

    And for fun, throw in Tua, Terrell, and Norton.
    How does he do?

    Very Well. A Tricky, Defensive Cutie who could knock you out with either hand. A rare combination. ATG footwork, unbelievable feints/misdirection/use of angles. One of the best left jabs(which he threw in triple combinations), very physically strong, highly skilled, could take a punch. Complete Package.

    Yeah Suzie, I think he does very well.
    However, it's quite possible that he get's beaten by a lot of these guys, and ends up with a negative record.

    By the way can somebody move this to the classic I meant to put it in there. Or I guess I could post it again.

    Rocky Marciano- I think Walcott might win a UD against the rock if this was the Walcott that fought Louis and Charles. but it's quite possible that he gets knocked out.
    Joe Louis-I think he wins a decision against Louis. He had his number in both fights but got knocked out in the second. I would pick him to beat Louis.
    Muhammad Ali-Ali takes a unanimous decision once he figures out Walcott's style. Walcott gives Ali a bit of trouble but Ali can handle it.
    Jack Dempsey- Jack Dempsey TKO 5- Dempsey's vicousness and aggression would pay off. Dempsey would come in swinging left hooks and would eventually catch the swift Walcott. Walcott comes to fight, however, and does not go down easy.
    Jack Johnson- Johnson's defensive skills and speed give Walcott trouble. However, it's nothing Walcott can't handle. Walcott UD.
    Gene Tunney- Gene Tunney's movement and jab trouble the defensive Walcott. Walcott lands the left hook and finishes him once he has his man hurt.
    Sonny Liston- Walcott has his hands full. Liston comes out fighting and finds that Walcott is not easy to hit. Walcott counters well but Liston eventually finds his target and knocks out Liston in 7.

    I'll do the rest later. I'm gonna go to bed.
