    You miss my point.

    I am not saying that he would beat Walcott because he beat them.

    I am saying that he would employ a strategy like the one that he employed against them, not the one that he employed against Dempsey.

    At least I think that he would.

    Tunney via the cards but peak, late-career Jersey Joe is a live underdog and a tough night at the office for anyone.

    Walcott's propensity to wait and counter and have his moments would leave him inevitably trailing against Tunney by the end of the fight.
