    Do you think Corbett would be able to beat Walcott somehow ? Or Walcott was simply way better as a fighter (I´m sure some people disagree with this) ?

    Walcott has light years better skills and a far better physical specimen, pretty much a perfect example of how the sport progressed from the 1890s-1940s/50s

    This just about covers my opinion on this one.

    Corbett was quite a specimen himself.

    He might have been faster, certainly as cagey and could stretch this one and steal rounds, perhaps even with ease.

    Hmm, I´m not sure if Seamus is serious :think Hard to tell.....
    But anyway, definitely I can see Corbett stealing some rounds.....

    I see Walcott KOing Corbett with the same counter left hook he KOed Charles with and floored Marciano.

    Jim Corbett would probably win on points.

    The winner would be whoever gave their tickets to their friends instead of going to watch this ****. Walcott would be looking to counter all night but Corbett would be too smart and quick to get caught. He would also be waiting for Jersey Joe to lead, which gives us a Shakur vs. Shakur type of fight in the end. Draw.
