Jersey Joe Walcott vs Tua

Byrd was taller And wider than walcott. Byrd was very fast And looked very natural at 210 pounds. No natural lhw could carry 210-215 pounds moving as fast as byrd and looking natural his body and not inflated.deal with the facts.chris byrd was bigger than jersey Joe walcott

 

This is nonsense.

If Walcott could have gone down to 175, don’t you think that he would have tried to get the tile?

It would have got him out of the obvious problem of fighting Joe Louis, or waiting for him to get old!

The steroid era has allowed light heavyweights like Byrd to bulk up, but it can only do so much for them!

 

Self destruction more like.

Does Walcott have a ranking at this point?

If so, then why does Tua alter his consistent record of failure, in this particular case?

 

Actually it would be a missmatch. Tua kills him. Marciano at 185 pounds was toó strong for walcott. A 226 tank tua would smash him

 

If Walcott could navigate Louis(I), Bivens, Murray, Sheppard and Ray without getting KO'd... I'm unclear why you think Tua is sure to get the job done. As Janitor correctly pointed out... When Walcott started getting proper training and became a full time fighter... He was very consistent and world class level for a good while. Most of his inconsistency was early in his career not later.

 

ermmmm Louis(slow feet like hell) was old And still destroyed walcott. Tua did hit much harder than all them

 

I think the underlined is too simplistic .Tommy Gomez, and Curtess Sheppard both had plenty of power, Walcott beat them .You need more than just power to beat a prime Jersey Joe.
