What if...Rocky Marciano had lost to Jersey Joe Walcott in 1952?

What if instead of Rocky nailing his stamping his signature right hand on JJW and knocking him cold, what if Joe had won a unanimous decision against Rocky, and it's said that Rocky only gave Joe a good fight? What happens then? Does Rocky get a rematch, in which it almost seems certain that he would win the title that time, or does Joe face Ezzard Charles for a fifth time? and who would win that fight? Would JJW fight LaStarza and Moore like Rocky did? and how would they fare against him? Or would Joe face the B level opposition of the 50s that made up much of the 6-man tournament later in the decade? like Baker, Valdes, Jackson, Satterfield, Holman, Richardson, etc.? Could Patterson win the title against Walcott? or is Walcott too experienced, or he is he shot by now? I honestly cannot see Joe lasting into the 60s even by a year. Ik it's a lot of questions I've posed, but I think it's intriguing to entertain and a unique idea as far as I know. I am eager to hear both your fantasy fight predictions as well as the informed on who Walcott likely would have faced next, based on rankings.

 

Good one George!

 

I think it's really a matter not of who can beat Walcott, since I don't think probably any of those guys can, but how many of them does he have to fight before he's shot?

 

certainly

 

C'mon guys! Quit liking everything and just reply! lol

 

and now everyone's gonna like this

 

agreed, if he had won though, that may have gone down as one of the greatest performances of all time

 

ya, Walcott vs. Charles V would probably just show how far both had slid, a fight w/ Moore would be the best possible fight Walcott could take; battle of defensive geniuses!

 

ha. ha.
