The Artistry of Jersey Joe Walcott

[@hanzagod]

One of my favorite fighters of all time! Walcott was a sublime boxer-puncher who had dazzling footwork and some of the best counter-punching ability you'll ever see from a Heavyweight. He became one of the oldest champions at the reported age of 37 (many believe him to have been 40+ at the time) and his devastating uppercut knockout against Ezzard Charles is one of the greatest KO's in boxing history. Jersey Joe at his best! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

[@sweetpeaboxing576]

He also had An underrated chin

[@mider-spanman5577]

I co-sign everything you said! I never get tired of watching Jersey Joe Walcott do his thing and he is still one of the most unorthodox and smoothest boxers of all time.

[@B.Wayne88]

Yesss finally thank you.🙏

[@reycesarcarino4653]

You Still have the Tracy Harris Paterson highlight or did you take it down

[@hanzagod]

@@reycesarcarino4653 Probably took it down at some point that's a really old one

[@titaniumpecker]

According to most observers, Walcott beat Joe Louis in their first fight. Louis was so sure he lost that he left the ring before the decision was announced. Walcott actually got more slick and tricky as he got more experienced. In other words, Walcott's "prime" years may have been in his thirties.

[@antoniomosley9410]

Jersey Joe Walcott was robbed, the ref gave the decision to Joe Louis because Joe Louis was his hero.

[@juanthompson7818]

Less than 5 men knocked down rocky Marciano. On kids

[@TFB97]

2 men

[@SilentMovements305]

@@juanthompson7818 rocky was overrated I can name better boxers in his weight that were better

[@ZerikLaps]

@@SilentMovements305 you can name better boxers but there are few many better fighters and few that had the same relentless determination as Marciano how can someone who defied the odds having the shortest reach of any heavyweight be overrated? with his physic he defied odds alone I personally prefer Walcott deffo one of my faves and ezzard Charles but don’t think it’s fair to discredit Marciano in any way

[@unadulteratedtruth8716]

That slip and uppercut at 2:30 against Ezzard Charles is one of the classic punches of all time. If you had to explain counterpunching to someone, the split second says all that needs to be said.

[@smirking8457]

It's probably the slickest punch ever thrown.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

And it was done against Ezzard Charles a Master counter puncher in of himself

[@mider-spanman5577]

Yes! One of my top five favorite heavyweights and all-time favorite boxers! The real Cinderella Man and formerly the oldest world heavyweight champion before George Foreman took that title. This man really was something different and I wish there was more footage of him out there of him doing his thing! He really is often times overlooked and he doesn't get the attention he deserves.

[@HaraDuran]

cinderella man fits jersey joe more definitely,first ever dancer to enter the ring

[@ReservoirPunk]

The footwork, the head movement, the ring IQ, second to none.

[@SilentMovements305]

The footwork is what made Joe Walcott a force

[@robertg305]

I have an authentic autographed photo of Jersey Joe Walcott hanging on my wall. An absolute legend

[@c.galindo9639]

Whoa. That man is amazing. His speed and power work so fluidly with his movements. A real master artist in boxing. A legend that was very under appreciated and highly disliked by the boxing industry because he was much better than the headline figureheads. Took him over a decade to receive the title he deserved and he earned it well more than anyone before him. A great talented, skillful boxer who faced great and much younger boxers who he still gave a great fight to. Jersey Joe Walcott. An absolute legend in boxing. Gone but never forgotten

[@ezzards3882]

Jersey was a great fighter, he gave my great fighter of all Ezzard Charles great left hook ko from hell. Jersey was a great counter puncher, boxer, and footwork. One of the best.

[@StayAKTV]

Louis, Walcott, Charles, Marciano. What a magnificent era. Louis was way past his prime and Charles was naturally a LHW, but damn they gave us some great fights. Some of the finest pugilist to ever lace them up.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

I would not say Charles was naturally a LHW, seen as in the 1950s he couldn't even get down to that weight class, he was the best Light Heavyweight of all time that is for sure, but that does not mean he was only comfortable in light heavyweight, his last ever win, he knocked out a 6ft 6 guy weighing 261lbs. Joe Louis was out if his prime but he did say his punches only got harder with age and he wasn't in his prime, but he was still great.

[@devonbell6795]

Great fighter! Joe also served as the first African-American Sheriff of Camden County, NJ (1971-1974)

[@RobertB-b5x]

Criminally underrated, true all-time great.

[@LegendsofBoxing]

Walcott shuffling/cake walking in front of Joe Louis and then dropping him is so sick

[@brodiethegoaty849]

You uploaded this as soon as I put my sparring gloves on. Literally took the time to unwrap and say thank you! Gonna pass all of this knowledge to my students today. You're a GOAT.

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

People don’t realize how good he was because on tape we see his losses or an older Walcott. Just imagine seeing what Jersey Joe was in his prime.

[@thegoodguywins1]

He was always in his prime. He lost fights in his prime. He was awesome his entire career!

[@drankyodrank]

He actually lost a bunch in his younger years. He was like fine wine

[@charlesrazo7246]

I do

[@thegoodguywins1]

@Broly ssj Nah, he never almost beat Rocky. And Walcott was alway good, he actually lost to lesser guys in his “prime” lol

[@thegoodguywins1]

@Broly ssj Nah, already did. I just mentioned that in the previous post lol. You study what I said in the post before. Prime doesn’t have to be age. Hence, when he was younger he lost to lesser guys in his “prime”. Meanwhile, almost counts in horseshoes and car accidents anyway….Rocky was being nice as we will never know (he said that to Walcott directly on his show). There were two more rounds! Almost bull shit! Rocky destroyed him in the second fight in one round

[@skippylegrandgourou777]

2:30 greatest punch in the history of boxing !

[@FirstDateFrt]

i liked eubanks uppercut vs watson, i think they said that was first time he was down in his career? to get up and do that showed character. tragic ending though ☹

[@bossplayermfs5972]

Jersey Joe Walcott was a good fighter definitely one of those boxers who doesn’t get mentioned enough good job Hanzagod 💯💯💯👍🏽.

[@Lonelysportofboxing]

It feels like Walcott Archie or Floyd Patterson doesn’t get mentioned much or even Ezzard Charles but he’s mentioned by knowledgeable boxing fans but not Fans if that makes sense

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

This fighter was special. Walcott he did great great and one of them better today because you know what was happening back then. Great tribute great job

[@ohrealy1]

Love these Vids Hanza. How people can say Walcott was past his best when he fought Marciano, Charles, etc is beyond me the guy had it all.

[@danthegamechanger3855]

Incredible fighter. Who's footwork was so dazzling and entertaining to watch. And a disastrous left hook who'd put anyone 6 feet deep.

[@brileyvandyke5792]

The man was spry. Damn good movement and thundering power

[@WattUNeed]

Amazing fighter!

[@toniv4903]

Man Jersey Joe has to be the slickest cat that ever laced ‘em up! His style is so eye pleasing and tricky, I think that it has aged super well 👌🏻

[@randomdude5545]

Jersey Joe Walcott was an underrated heavyweight, I watch some of Walcott film to study his style he was really crafty and very tricky boxer. Whenever I go Sparring I always imitate Jersey Joe Walcott style because it fits me as a slick counterpuncher I always trick My Sparring Partner Using the technique I learn from Walcott footage and a video about his Technique. Rest In Peace champ!

[@pjbutton3396]

The Picasso of boxing! Thank you for this beautiful edit!

[@sonzai5162]

Look at how he threw his counters. He knew that his timing was flawless thus he fully committed to throw them. This man is a true wizard of boxing legendary stuff. RIP Champ

[@azraelknightquest5754]

It's nice to see someone remembering the REAL DEAL legends that fought without "supplements" or anything like that, just hard work and style. 15 round boxing matches, some of them outside, no air conditioning or heating. Joe Walcott was one of the best. A HEAVY HITTING counter-puncher that I swear seemed to have the precision of a SURGEON. It was like he knew JUST the right number of inches to move this or that, JUST when to land his punches. Moved pretty dang good for a big boy too. And quite the gentleman as well.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

His footwork and hooks though!! 😳 WOW!🥊

[@thorn3802]

A man that broke the rules with his feet. To square up like it was the first thing he learned. Amazing! I love practicing that style

My favourite heavyweight boxer. He was a genius, an artist of boxing. As he dances and tricks against the great Joe Louis! Fenomenal! He was not grubbing in the ring, he was playing. And this was his weakness, which sometimes caused him to lose. Against such hitters like Louis and Marciano one has to be alert at all times.

[@ringmasterjeb3453]

When Boxing was real people could see Magic before the Maywether times was a guy named Arnold Cream / known by all Jersey Joe Walcott. I feel he was the man who gave Boxing the Moniker of the Sweet Science . Before Ali at Heavyweight this wonderful man did things that set the stage to what made boxing one hell of a sport. It has to be down to Jersey Joe or Sugar ray Robinson not sure who was better. But Boxing would be nothing without either of these HOF guys.

[@dw5213]

One of the most stylistic fighters ever. used to call it the Walcott walk-off he'll walk off and throw counter right hand as you walked in and when he knocked out as a ezzard with that walk-in slip left uppercut one of the best knockouts I've ever seen

[@vinny6685]

Jersey Joe was as slick a fighter ever born .

[@aaa6072]

Fighters of that day had to go through hell to get a title shot, let alone win a title. The boxrec stats don't do justice to how he fought against the all time greats. He could move like that at the young age of 37, imagine what the guy could've achieved if he had the science and nutrition of today.

[@Teshun__tooslickteam2jabs]

This is who James toney did study film of , I film study James toney now , Jersey Joe Walcott, ezzard Charles , Floyd Mayweather jr I will be the best defensive/ counter puncher boxer with tremendous footwork

[@tylerrobbins8311]

Such an underrated champion and legend of them sport. If ever a champion showed grit it was Jersey Joe Walcott who battled his way to the top in and era of racism against arguably the goat of heavyweight boxing in Louis. It's crazy he gets forgotten when he fought against them two boxers to claim goat.

[@bigman6781]

You can definitely see how Jersey Joe influenced Ali with his unorthodox style and movements.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Loma and Usyk has both tried to implement some of Wallcotts footwork into their game plans, but it is so complex some of the stuff even to hard for those legends of the sport.

[@hanzagod]

I don't necessarily think Usyk and Loma were sitting there for countless hours just watching films of Walcott they've never mentioned him in any interviews, their styles were developed over 100's of amateur fights and good teachings from their trainers. Natural ability certainly helps too.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

@@hanzagod firstly can I ask where do you get all your footage from? Is it just from KZbin or archives? Secondly you don't develop wallcott's footwork just from fighting a lot, it is very unique. I believe it was Loma's trainer who said it. Well 2 guys who are known for their amazing footwork probably do watch and try to emulate footwork from some of the best footwork seen in boxing, garentuee they watch Ali, Willie Pep etc. And study what they did.

[@hippo4214]

could jersey joe beat tyson fury if we built a time machine, i think he could!

[@tylerrobbins8311]

I doubt he would due to Fury's crazy size advantage, that reach of Fury's is no joke. Still if Walcott could get in close there is a good chance he sparks Fury could with a slip into a counter left stright, or a brutal counter uppercut as Fury slipped to the outside. It would be a treat fight Walcott stylistically is one of the few past champions that would be a dangerous fighter for Fury.

[@Alderak1]

Well idk about that he fought at 195 pounds or so, but he’d run through the Cruiserweight division with ease.

Ali watched film of all the great champions but after he had become successful. Ali got his style from his god given natural ability and working in the gym with the likes of Willie Pastrano and Ralph Dupas.

[@bjornsundberg1947]

Walcott's worst performance in the ring, in fact the only real bad one, was when he was the 3rd man between the ropes in the Ali/Liston return match. He couldn't make Ali, who was standing shouting right above Liston, go to neutral corner, which made it difficult for Walcott to correctly pick up the count. Nevertheless, Ali would've won regardless of how many seconds Liston was down.
