I think earnie would be a little bigger/stronger. But Walcott probably had a lot more boxing talent. Who would win that interesting matchup?

A Contrast In Styles
I believe that if they fought '3-Times', there would be drastically different results.
Earnie Shavers - Jersey Joe Walcott I ........ Jersey Joe by a {W Dec 15}
Earnie Shavers - Jersey Joe Walcott II ........ Earnie by {KO 3}
Earnie Shavers - Jersey Joe Walcott III ...... Jersey Joe by a {TKO 12}
Yeah it's almost an atypical 50/50 fight because of the inconsistency factor, particularly for Walcott (the more skilled fighter ).
I like Walcott avoiding the bombs and might even make Shavers look silly late on.
The funny thing is they were both inconsistent weren't they? this is a real pickem kind of fight ....up for grabs wild card kind of shootout at the OK Corral

Both were 'unpredictable'.
Both could pull a 'stinkeroo' at times.
