prime Jersey Joe Walcott vs muhammad Ali

[Bill Paxtom]

Jersey Joe Walcott

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.
