People don't seem to realize that for a good chunk of his career he was malnurished bordering on starving; he got in the ring in a weakened state just to make a few bucks to buy food. I believe he fought twice in one night at least once. Considering these circumstances is it any wonder Walcott picked up a few losses? It shouldn't detract from his greatness as a fighter.

Combat Sports are the toughest sports out there.

and yet he was one of the hardest punchers back then, curtis sheppard said walcott packed a punch like a mule in both hands. he was a strong hard puncher, someone you wouldn't want to make a mistake against or you would pay dearly for it.

Walcott earned 6 shots at the heavy title, and won it tearing Charles head off. The only man to drop Louis 3 times. All 3 times Louis was champ. Great Champ!

I agree. Walcott was a skilled puncher with that left right combo. Rocky Marciano was a raw puncher also, and people could stand up to it. Tyson was the same. but tyson couldn't continue the punch as with Walcott, they were one punch or one two punchers. Marciano was like a jack hammer, he kept hammering away and would throw left right left right and left right, and one would have eventually connected on Ali's chin.

Lewis was out matched here. Walcott had him beat with the right left punch. Lewis was wide open. Lewis doesn't seem to catch on until the later rounds when he started moving away from Walcott's right let combo. Ali didn't have the punching power these two guys did. Ali fought like Gene Tunney. Dance and keep away. This is ok for points but really doesn't show skill in terms of raw punching. Ali was overrated because he had no knockout punch. Sure he could stun a fighter like forman and

That's some bullshit.
