    Folks,

    I just reviewed my tape of "Walcott-Charles 3" from 1951 Pittsburgh. Joe Walcott was getting his 5th (Unheard Of) title shot..

    YES! We all know Joe Walcott won the title with a smashing hook to Ezzard Charles' jaw in round 7, but what impresses me the most with Walcott was his ripped, muscular physique that he owned and displayed...

    We've had several heavies past or present over age 35 yrs of age who have done well keeping themselves in-shape, however, with the modern heavies you never know what foreign substances they are using and abusing to aide their training.

    Jersey Joe Walcott looked ripped to the max and, without a doubt, it was from natural training....

    Hell, even that Walcott choked in his '53 rematch with Marciano, Walcott at least looked ripped and solid upon entering the fight at Goddamn age 39.....

    Who else compares to Joe Walcott's training and physique? Let's exclude Evander Holyfield.... I sense Holy is a cheater....

    C'mon?:deal:huh:rasta

    I met him in the 70's and I think he was close to 60, the guy was a solid beast 6ft but shoulders and head, arms and hands, he did not look like a regular person. Joe Frazier also impressed me when he was in his 40's thick shoulders,neck but Walcott impressed me at 60

    The discussion is about an era when guys were all natural. Jones and Holy are from he modern era and thus their physiques are possibly chemically enhanced. It doesnt help either that Jones tested positive for banned substances in Indiana against Richard Hall and Holyfield was caught purchasing steroids via mail order "for someone else..."

    True, but Hall also failed for that same test at a higher level. Long discussion on that with the product and even the testing procedure. But yes, PEDs are very possible.

    There have been some great physiques in the past that were even before Walcott's time. Of course, they were also wrestlers and bodybuilders but still. It wasn't unheard of.

    YES! But Walcott was no doubt well over 200 pounds when he filmed his fight / sparring scene with Mike Lane in 1955 for the film "The Harder They Fall." Walcott by then was over 40, and looking much thicker, though still solid...

    The Old Mongoose Archie Moore. That dude looked huge for his age and for any era of LHW's. He was able to floor acouple HW's too.
