walcott certainly beat charles in his heavyweight prime. charles was only 29 years old and HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION when walcot beat him. charles hadnt lost in 3 years and was coming off wins over louis,walcott. charles was very much in his prime in 1951.
- everyone makes a big deal out of nortons win and preformances over ali. why not walcotts over joe louis?
- I think walcott is defintley a top 20 heavyweight, i rate him 15th greatest.
IBRO boxing panel voted him 16th greatest heavyweight of all time
- walcotts win resume was a very good one compared to other heavyweight champs.
- -Jersey Joe did great after he'd been able to shuck his day job.
Just think how much he and Louis coulda cleared in the roaring 20s.
