Jersey Joe Walcott vs Roy Jones Jr

That's the Classic spirit

 

Maxim was an ATG with a good workrate though. We all saw what happened when Jones faced Calzaghe.

We get confidence from Roy's lightbulb chin and the fact that fighters from those days had that "old time toughness". It's a fact that the further back you go the tougher they get. Can you imagine having that old time farm strength from those days?

Sorry man, when I look at Walcott all I see is his shining wins against guys like Ezzard Charles that blind me to any of his shortcomings.

 

Yes, I see Jones beating Marciano with ease. Jones is way too talented, fast, and a much harder puncher than Marciano. It is laughable to envision Marciano to fight anyone with a pulse. A prime Walcott and Charles would have cleaned the floor with Marciano. They were live corpses, when RM fought both of them.

 

I could see it going a similar route to the Charles series, they split a few fights
