    Ring Magazine had this matchup on their 100 greatest fights of all time that never happened. Who wins and how do they do it?

    That fight could go either way. Both were very skilled in defensive fighting. Maybe Larry's height, weight, and longer arm reach would give him slight edge?

    Yeah, Walcott would be a live underdog.
