    You can't take away Ingo's puncher's chance but Walcott, I have to think, will just be too cute. Floyd was very aggressive and that gave Ingo a much bigger puncher's chance with him, I don't think it would be as likely to happen against Walcott. Walcott, by...whichever. Decision or knockout.

      Johansson struggled mightily with his conditioning --- I do not think he has fifteen rounds in him. A combination of Walcott's rapid-fire combos, punctuated by his brutal & unforeseen left hook (Johansson may be having visionary nightmares of the left Patterson used to lay him out in their second fight) should do Johansson in around the tenth.

      One thing --- Johansson, for all his limitations, had a distracting jab & a strong sense of timing, & Walcott could be caught without focus at times, even during his prime. There's a legit chance Johansson lays him out, but it's fairly small.

            Walcott would have too much of everything for Ingo

              Walcott was twice the fighter imo. He could damn near do as he pleased with Ingo, such a crafty old bugger! I always feel he is an underated puncher too, i can see a KO win for Jersey Joe and as early as the 5th
