    I think Walcott would win some rounds where he looked fabulous, then round, 3, round 4, 5,6,7, and Jersey Joe starts wilting like hot lettuce. Frazier by KO in 11

    That's the thing about Joe, unlike Tyson he could stay on you for fifteen rounds. I think JJW might have even knocked him down, but Joe was just too relentless and had too much stamina to let him get away with that I think.

    Besides the pressure and power the key for Frazier is that he was a dedicated body puncher. The head moves and is deceptive. Fraizer tortures that body and cuts down Walcott's legs

    Personally, I think JJW would close the show before the tenth round.

    Frazier coming out ready to kill his man but finds himself down, Walcott with a fast as lightning left hook of his own.
    Jersey puts him down again with another flurry and Frazier is stunned but jumps up. He bites down hard and survives the round.
    Joe's will to win keeps him grinding thru whilst Walcott turns the clock back to look a young man in there, foxy and stubborn, catching Joe and swelling his face up.
    But Frazier s working away at Walcott s head and body and gradually, bit by bit, Jersey is slowing down and getting tired.
    With JJW slightly ahead, Frazier lands in the 11 th, a left hook from the depth s, that cracks his chin like an Atomic bomb!!
    Jersey goes flying backwards and it takes every ounce of power to climb back up.
    With the ref waving em back in, Smoke s on a mission, and two more sickening hook s later and Walcott is back down and not even attempting to climb back up.
    Joe Frazier extremely fortunate to win his encounter with Jersey Joe indeed.

    Frazier stops him in the late rounds or wins a wide decision, can't see any other outcome

    People selling Walcott short.
    He dropped the Rock. Dropped Louis. Knocked out Charles.
    The man can punch.
    I love Joe Frazier but to get to Walcott he's going to have to come forward towards Joe thus Walcott can land.
    Walcott seems pretty durable too. And we all know Frazier is durable.
    I think Walcott drops Joe a couple of times. The question I have is does it discourage Joe?
    I don't think so.
    The longer the bout goes I'd actually favor Joe in grinding Jersey down.
    But I wouldn't be shocked if Jersey walks Joe into something and stopped Joe.

    JJ does very well in the early going,maybe even dropping Joe. Eventually,though,Frazier's pressure and relentless punching cuts Walcott down.

    Frazier TKO between rounds 10 - 15
