1947 Jersey Joe Walcott vs 1979 Larry Holmes

--- Well, of course in today's moronic BALCO Vic/TUE Tygart world, Joe would be on steroid even if not...only in boxing!

Walcott is pretty much a tough fight for anyone. Size mongers will tell you different, but styles make fights and Joe had a style to make anyone look bad.

Walcott could handle some of the larger modern heavies IMO. Sure he may lose to the Tyson's and Lewis's of the world, but guys like Berbick, McCall, Rahman, Ruiz, Lyle, Shavers, Barrett even say Mercer or Morrison would be there for the taking on the right night.

Mercer and Morrson were 100% there for the taking.

Depends if it's the Morrison with or without the juice. Was there one without the juice?

I still believe Holmes would jab his way to victory, outboxing him for a decision win.

This^^^^^^^^

I can see Walcott slipping a lot of jabs and neutralizing it to an extent. But it would also neutralize Walcott�s offense and I think Larry outworks him on activity and takes a razor thin decision
