    Walcott 1 because JJWalcott was a slickster beast who was in excellent shape for that fight and cut like a marble statue, he had a great start with a perfect punch KD and competed well up into the 13th and Marciano kept coming until he landed what he was trying to land all night....everyone got value that night and the finish was one of the best.

    Walcott 1 and Mathews probably, Charles 1 is good too. I like to watch all his fights, maybe not the C*ckell one so much.

    Walcott 1.

    The way the fight ebbed and flowed...first Walcott then Marciano then Walcott then Marciano...amazing. Both were scintillating that evening.

    Charles 1. Ezzard was on point, and still couldn't keep Marciano off of him.

    The Archie Moore destruction was even with the Walcott fight.

    I cant help but admire Archie, It showed not only Marciano at his relentless best. It showed what Archie was made off.

    A true champion.

    That prime Walcott he beat. Cut like granite, best reflexes ever, quicker than he was 20 years before, strong like an ox who was stronger than he was 15 years before as a young ox, a man with the stamina of a 37 year old that was better than when he was 25 because that is how it works.

    Which is why he retired and left at the peak of his fistic abilities... not that he was at the end of the line and knew it.
