    Over 15? I think Wlad nicks it.

    I think Joe is the one who will have to adapt to the hammer jab, big right hand, clinch strategy of Klitschko. I see him falling way behind through 8, making a rally that see's him come within a hairs breadth of sneaking it, but the judges, who rarely gave Joe the BoD, give it to Klitschko.

    Interesting fight.

    Could go either way.

    This would be an interesting fight in many ways.

    Wlad wins. Walcott was not a pressure guy. He's too short, and too small to win.

    Both can win by decision, both can win by KO. Great fight, tough to call. It´s Walcott´s better footwork against Wlad´s jab mostly, probably a very tactical battle with both trying to profit from the mistakes the other guy makes. Wlad rarely makes a mistake though and Walcott sometimes has the tendency to clown too much. This may be the deciding factor. I take Wlad by KO in the late midrouds.

    I don't think the height and reach would be insurmountable - see this for how Walcott was able to deal with a 6'6" giant with an 84" reach and 220lbs

    I think Vlads lack of imagination would be shown up in this one and he would start to look a bit sheepish and out of his depth very quickly - I think Walcott would sense pretty quick that there was a confidence/chin issue with Vlad and may even go for a KO which might surprise some people - but however Joe does it, he does it.

    Wlad would win in an ugly looking contest. He could score a late KO.

    This "too short" crap Klit-Huggers is nonsense.

    Tyson & Frazier are both shorter than Walcott & they'd both KO Wlad.
    Indeed they're pressure fighters, but my point is there is no such thing as "too short".

    Walcott decision, too many tricks, great speed, good chin. I think he has the goods to trouble any all time great heavyweight, let alone a guy like Wlad with a few question marks on his career.

    Hein Ten Hoff is nowhere near as good as Vlad. Terrible comparison. Wlad owns small boxers like Chambers and Byrd. Walcott would have little chance here. Walcott is over rated because he gave Louis and Marciano tough fights, but remember he also lost 18 times.

    I was counting the minutes until the first pea brain came on and fell into this little trap :lol: Do you have the brain you were born with?? I was simply making the point that the height and reach of someone 6'6" wouldn't present a problem to Walcott as such - we all know Hein Ten Hoff wasn't Vlad Klit but that wasn't the point - sadly you were the first to stumble into that :patsch

    Typical Klit-ite, massively overrating their opponents.
    Chambers & Byrd are totally incomparable to Walcott.
