    I'll take Usyk because of his size and skills. Walcott was so tricky though. Size would be the main factor imo

    I begrudgingly take Usyk on points. The Walcott who fought Louis would be a tough night for Usyk

    I’ll take Usyk by points. But he’s def a decent fight.

    Usyk stops him. Lesser fighters did. And many, many, many far lesser fighters hung an L on Joe.

    Yes, I am aware that the Great Depression hit Jersey Joe Walcott uniquely among all men. Funny how his weigh ins don't seem to reflect any level of starvation. But I know better, that he was living on a bean a day.
