    Only the less educated know Walcott for his losses:

    Jersey Joe cleaned out an army of top 10 contenders and regulars in Emer Ray, Lee Q Murray, Tommy Gomez, Joey Maxim, Joe Baski, Curtis Sheppard, Harold Johnson, Jimmy Bivins, Lee Oma, Olle Tandberg, and Omelio Agramonte. The Ezzard Charles KO is the icing on the cake.

    1959 Liston knocks out every version of Walcott.

    Walcott's punches came from odd angles so sometimes you just couldn't see them coming. Seeing that Liston was KO'd by a light punch he didn't see (from Ali), I'm not sure he would have gone the distance against Walcott.

    The ball is in your court. Explain why you don't recognize these wins or you have been self owned.

    he, Who knows when Joe Walcott was in his "prime"
    For example in 1946, when JJW was 32 years old I saw him demolish a young ko artist Tommy Gomez in MSG, and 2 months later I watched him lose to Elmer Ray@ MSG. He was always inconsistent. Never knew whih Jersey Joe would show up. But when he was GOOD he would be a handful for any heavyweight I believe...Especially Ali...

    Didn't you know He "who didn't know who Harold Johnson is" Grant is here to educate us. He owns us man, if he says Walcott only beat Charles with a lucky punch..than my golly thats all Walcott did. This goes back to his sick Marciano fetish, he can't give anyone with even a remote connection to the man credit.

    Burt, I believe Walcott clearly had a different career prime from his physical prime based on the cards life dealt him. No man is in his physical prime to compete as a prize fighter in his mid thirties.
