Jersey Joe Walcott was a guy who learned to fight the hard way, having to fight for peanuts several times a month makes you have to get pretty good at not getting hurt.

By the time he became a contender, he was already past his best, but he was one of the cagiest, most awkward fighters I've seen - albeit only on old videos - he was brilliant and asking physical questions, setting traps and capitalising on them.

He was robbed in his first fight with Joe Louis, he draw Ezzard Charles in and onto his hook to knock him out ..... And he completely schooled and chopped up Rocky Marciano for thirteen rounds.
