From Wendell Smith, "Walcott Calls Louis Greatest Champ of All Time," Pittsburgh Courier, July 3, 1948 "Did he consider Joe Walcott a good puncher? "I wouldn't call him a good puncher," Joe said, "even though he knocked me down. When he knocked me down in the third round this time, I was off balance. But when I was standing up with good balance he hit me good but I didn't go down. He punches pretty good, but not as hard as Max Baer or some others I've fought."
