    Interesting fight as both fighters were hot and cold throughout their careers. However both at their best I feel Walcott was a step above Buster and stops him late. Thoughts?

    Walcott was a smarter fighter than Douglas and more proven, Douglas overcommitted to his jab v Tyson which is how the shorter fighter caugfht him with a counter uppercut to floor him, A Rooney-less Tyson could never have dropped Walcott.
