    Which one of these sneaky punchers manages to con his opponent into walking onto his Sunday punch first?

    I would make Walcott the favorite, by one means or another.

    I think it walcott was inshape, he takes it.
    I believe he was just a better fighter in almost everything.
    BUT, if Walcott showed up unprepared physically, this would not be a good night for him.

    Walcott without too much trouble.

    I like Walcott but it would not surprise me at all if Joe gets caught with that right hand and Koed. Joe was knocked out by lesser fighters than Ingo. With that said, I will say Walcott by UD or Kate stoppage.

    I'd pick Walcott but Ingo would certainly be capable of winning

    I see no reason to favor Johansson in this. Jersey Joe should take this one, IMHO, of course.

    Walcott the favorite, and by Ko imo, I think he stops Ingo in 8 rounds or less. BUT if Ingo lands his right, it would not shock me if Walcott is counted out. Ingo had that type of power.

    The biggest thing that makes me lean toward Walcott is that it seems more likely that Walcott's encountered something like Ingo before.

    The converse is probably not true of Ingo. I have my doubts that Sweden's amateur or pro scene prepared Johansson all that well. He had the raw talent, but...

    Yes. That and Walcott had more ways available for him to win against Johansson. I believe that Ingo only had the proverbial puncher's chance against Jersey Joe.

    True, with the caveat that Walcott wasn't exactly a decision-grabbing slickster like, say, Machen. Walcott was presumably inviting Louis to play whack-a-mole with his noggin not to show off, but to set up something fight-ending.

    They were just honestly two different breeds of fighters look at there careers, style and everything around them.

    Walcott and Ingo? Hm.

    I think of them as broadly similar in overall strategy -- somewhat mobile punchers who tried to sucker their opponents onto big punches -- although they used different tools to get there.

    Ingo strikes me as a crude attempt by a very talented man to build a style that could pull that strategy off. But because Ingo came from the boxing equivalent of a cave with a box of scraps, he only really built his style around one trick. Albeit a good one. One wonders about what the 1930s meatgrinder that produced Walcott would have made out of Ingo.

    Just my $0.02, for what it's worth.
