Jersey Joe Walcott v Tony Tucker

I would favor Walcott, but I would not be shocked if Tucker won!

 

If the right version of Walcott shows up both well trained and well seasoned he wins a close decision.

 

I'd favor Tucker. Better specimen, more consistent, more seamless and reliable skillset.

Call me crazy.

 

Not crazy, just eye-test, common sense & evaluation of abilities.

One fellow lost like 1/4 of his fights, while the other went undefeated plus going 12 with Tyson and Lewis ---> Walcott must win via decision, there is NO other chance. Can´t hurt him. Tucker on the other hand has also reach, mobility, size and enough power to hurt fragile chinned Joe.

Checking any "tons of losses Walcott" and "Douglas/Tyson Tucker", and pretend the fight was made today, no one would make odds in the favor of the smaller, losing fellow.

 

Really depends on how Walcott s mind is that day imo!
He could fight the fight of his life, even rattling Tucker, on his way to a points win.
Or allow himself to be out pointed or stopped late by him.
The Walcott that almost beat Louis and Marciano and kod Charles gets a point decision.
The one that lost to Charles, loses widely and gets dropped along the way.

 

Love an exclamation mark, don't ya!

 

That is not a bad pick. Both Walcott and Tucker at times leave you wanting more. I favor Tucker.

 

Could go either way, but I picking Tony on a split decision.

 

Tucker is the standard of consistency?

 

Well he was constant in that he always lost to the biggest names of his era.

 

Primo you got to sound less like a boxrec warrior. Losses are not the sole indicator of a fighters ability. Walcott lost against ATG just like Tucker did.
