He fought in an incredibly weak era after war where a boxer like that could possibly become HW champion.
The records were MORE padded than now with guys who were not even training properly or enough. We can take a look at Walcotts opponents opponents too and see some even MORE shocking results. Not only do they have even more terrible records, but these records consist of barely any real HW fights and some even as low as bloody featherweight!
Hopkins and Toney can pay reverence as much as they like!
Hopkins and Toney achieved far better records against FAR better opposition from start of career, to finish, any way you slice it, and would have both knocked Walcott out easily. Basic fact!

name a current fighter bwahaha who could fight Joe Louis 5 times , Ezzard Charles 5 times, Marciano 2 times, etc... You are fuill of shit. Wlacott fought every single one of those fights competitively, and won a few too. "current fighters' bwahahaha Maxpower put down THE CRACK PIPE YO.

Bit daft to compare old guys to new... Most Light Heavyweights are bigger today, especially before they've sweated down to 179lb
My favorite fighter -who up and coming champs fought to {{{PAD}}} their record is the GREAT Reggie Strickland. 66 wins 276 losses.
Not a 1940, 50,60's or 70's fighter.
LHW champ Tavaris Cloud was the last one to make use of him- & couldn't stop a fighter used for record-padding![]()
Ok,
I think Jean MArc Mormeck could have fought all of those fighters and BEAT the lot of them!
Jean Marc Mormeck is the heaviest, the strongest, the most skilled, the fastest, the most powerful of all of them by FAR.
You have done what I call a "nostalgic assessment", let's get real here!

Fuck you! He pointed out a simple fact that the sport has evolves, kind of like I've been saying as well. Except he is trying to spin it as if the sport is "devolving", becoming progressively weaker as usual for an OTNB poster. The extrapolation until even further past times all the way back to bare knuckles reveals that a boxer then and today, are hard to compare by record and skillset because they were so different.
OF COURSE I can agree with that!

Take a look at Hopkins LOL That's no lightweight mate! And fuck me, as if Toney would even bother to step in the ring with Walcott! Toney would have had tougher sparring sessions than that!
On the contrary it is YOU who are mad to assume Walcott has any chances whatsoever here and it is an insult to Hopkins and a STINKING insult to Toney!
I doesn't matter if Toney was fat. Toney was HEAVY!

WELCOME TO OTNB LAND PEOPLE!
The magical place where if an ancient fighter sustains double digit losses, it's a sign of character LOL
And if a modern fighter suffers few, sometimes even just a single loss, he is a bum!
It's such extreme bias and swaggery that drives the mythology machine to this very day.
Problem is, for most of boxing history the American hype machine could get away with it because there was no access to boxrec or online video.
Unfortunately for them we can now SEE how bad they were with our very own eyes.

Oh really..
When was the last time you seen him fight? Who was it, and how did he go?
You know that isn't true.
