Walcott dropped Joe Louis, Ko'ed Ezzard Charles and dropped Marciano like a sack of feed. It is my understanding that he was way ahead on the cards when Rocky scored the KO punch. Marciano was fortunate that he fought an aging Walcott , Charles and Louis.
Really good read - it's been at least a year since I read one of these, and just last night I was wondering how to find your stuff.
