    Yeah, the 190lb version you seem intent on using was.

    Peak Walcott outfought/boxed maybe the greatest boxer of all time in Ezzard Charles - twice.

    But don't let's misunderstand each other, I pick Wlad as detailed on page one. I posted in response to your post becase I felt your detailing of Walcott's weight was not accurate, not because I pick Walcott to win.

    At his best, Walcott would be a little more effective than Chris Byrd was in the first fight. Like Byrd, he doesn't have the power to keeo Wlad honest. Sooner or later Wlad walks him down and gets the ko.

    This is a terrible analysis.

    Firstly, Walcott has 32 KO's ot of 51 wins and was famed for his power. He was not a Baer/Shavers type puncher but could generate KO shots over a short distance and work himself into position to throw such punches.

    Second, Wlad isn't going to be "walking" anyone down, he's going to be staying at range on the back foot, desperate to avoid Walcott getting inside.

    The second misunderstanding springs from the first I think.

    It would be an easy win for Wlad, Walcott was a great fighter but his cross arm defence would have been too leaky for Wlads jabs and right hand. Early KO for Wlad.

    I voted Wlad but I could see Walcott winning 1 of 3.

    Not to be disrespectful, but who was the best fighter Joe ko'd? Ezzard Charles? Not exactly a giant. On the other hand Joe was ko'd plents of time from little guys like Jack Fox, to the plodding Abe Simon. Neither of which Wlad is. Walcott will be using footwork like in the first Louis fight, yet Wlad long jab never allows him to get inside and be truly effective. After awhile Joe is gonna be looking to survive by staying away and Wlad is gonna walk him down. Jmo.

    Lol, come on here. Wlad knocks out Walcott.

    Walcott has been on the floor more times than Klits, yet people will claim Klits has the glass jaw in this one.

    Or better yet, fans of yesteryear, will claim we've never seen Walcott, or read up on him, or appreciate him, etc.... Baloney.

    Why some act like the size difference in this type of fight is just too much for ole Jersey Joe.

    Klits hammers Joe in this, the size factor can not be ignored.
