Jersey Joe Walcott
Would never fall prey to Cassius Clay's game and tactics.
This would be a 'Cat-and-Mouse', and tremendously boring boxing match.
A frustrated Cassius wouldn't be able to do too much here, other than
landing his long-range left-jabs.
If 'Young Cassius' fights like he did against Karl Mildenberger, he'd be picking
himself off the canvas a 'few times', after eating countering punches and leads.
This one goes down to the wire, with ...... ... ....... winning by 1-Point.

Good fight. A close fight. Probably would look a lot like Toney vs Nunn +/- the stoppage.
Ali would have boxed circles around him.

And he would easily side-step those 'weak' right-hand leads.
By the way, Cassius 'loved' to eat left-hooks.

Oh, I couldn't match Cassius in speed, but that wouldn't be a problem in the
later Rounds.
He would have to come in sometime, and that is where I would counter-punch
him with my left-hook.
He liked it when fighters would move forward and chase or follow him. Not me,
I would just lay back and wait to pounce like a 'spring-loaded' Cat.
I'm sure he would be circling and dancing, trying to bait me into moving forward.
But I would pull a 'reverse' and move away from him, and wave him in.
That would get the crowd against him.

Jersey Joe knocks OUT Ali in the 9th round with a 'sniper' left hook hidden behind a lazy jab.
Walcott could 'pierce' a fighter with that sneaky left hook. Ali liked to ~ham it up~ and duck his head down and to his right alot like an idiot, ---well, thats RIGHT in that sneaky left hook line of fire.
"Yon know something Mr. Triple 'B'. I was thinking the same thing. The left-hook to a 'ducking' Clay Pigeon."Quote:

Ali outboxes Joe with ease and could even stop him late should he choose to.
Sure. Just like he could have 'knocked out' Alfredo Evangelista anytime he wanted to.Quote:

What does Jersey offer that could trouble Ali? Nothing.
OK then, I guess you're right.Quote:

Look how terrible Jersey Joe looks.

Walcott always looked in great shape but had a tendency of getting stooped when he should have won Rocky and Louis are prime examples.
Jersey Joe who got stopped by a limited brawler in Rocky and a very old Louis?
The Walcott that got outboxed by Ezzard Charles?
Both of you are haters of Ali the greatest heavyweight ever.
Look Closely
That is Cassius Clay getting his 'ass' dropped by a quick countering left-hook, which
was Jersey Joe's specialty.
Look how pretty those 'White Shoes' look as they are lifted off the canvas.

Think hed be too small to affect Ali.
Ali was a big heavyweight back then.
