    I've got Walcott here unless he has an off night. Thoughts?

    As a bettor, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. Two fighters who typify the term "hot and cold"... Mike has the physical advantages, speed, size and when fresh, output. I will give him the edge with little confidence.

    Walcott was a far better fighter than Dokes but Michael`s hand speed would bother Joe, however Walcott`s erratic movement would be something Dokes never faced, Dokes could match Marciano`s volume punching but not his power and wasn`t a good inside fighter like Rock, Walcott would take Dokes out different class.

    If he was a far better fighter why was he beaten so often?

    Overall, historically I give Walcott the edge as the better fighter to take a UD, but like others with no confidence

    Walcott, by decision. Should be but with these two it's hard to say..

    He did, Mark. Definitely. His power is actually underrated imo.

    I would make Walcott favorite, but Dokes is the kind of guy who might beat him one time in three.

    Hey Janitor. How old are you? Just a random question.
