    I take Walcott by KO in the mid rounds in a fun fight, Walcott would probably be leading scorecards the whole time.

    I'm seeing Joe doing great and getting a points win but ..I could also believe that Mike brings out a punch from nowhere to lay him out !
    Jersey so much more the skilled man but also unlucky in some respects .

    Many times when matching fighters from different Eras size is an issue, it won’t be here Weaver is just a shade taller and and just a little heavier.

    Weaver will be the aggressor and he will be susceptible to the tricky Walcott’s traps. Walcott hits hard enough to hurt Weaver and he will hurt him on occasion. Unless the heavy handed Weaver catches Walcott during an exchange and takes him out I’d predict a Walcott Decision. It’ll be a spirited and competitive fight.

    That's what I think---too many traps set for Weaver to finagle his way through them all. Real nice matchup though and an exciting fight for us, the boxing public.

    If this fight is at their respective bests,,, Walcott dominates and wins a wide decision . 10 or 11 rounds

    The fight would be Walcott's to lose i think. It's a Walcott decision or a later stoppage for either man.

    To me if you could see Weaver doing it is not actually believing in it, that's just saying he has that punchers shot, I'm going with what's there, Walcott, better all the way around and tougher, UD or TKO! I could see Weaver getting in a lucky punch also, but that's not how it goes in 1 fight, maybe in the 3rd or 4th fight they would have but in 1 night, 1 fight, Walcott for sure.
