Jersey Joe Walcott was one of the craftiest, trickiest, and most creative boxers to ever step in the ring.
After being mismanaged early on his career, he rose through the ranks to earn title shots against Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles. After a couple of failed attempts, he finally became the champion of the world when he knocked out Ezzard Charles with one of the sweetest punches ever filmed.
This video is a showcase of but a tiny portion of his career, using a relatively minimal selection of film available.

Jersey Joe Walcott is shamefully underrated. He absolutely boxed circles around Joe Louis in one fight and was disgracefully robbed. He took prime Marciano to the very brink, Marciano only just pulled it out and had to produce the greatest ko punch ever to do it. Jersey Joe is a top 10 heavyweight ever, master boxer.

Walcott was robbed of a victory in his 1st fight against Rocky. Rocky was bleeding like crazy from both of the cuts above his eyes and the Ref should've stopped the fight and given Joethe win by TKO. Rocky was a bleeder and because he was undefeated the Refs never stopped his fights whether he was bleeding like crazy or his nose was split in half and ready to fall off his face.

Jersey Joe Walcott is often in the lower half of top 100 lists, but i'd rather put him in my top 50 or even top 35 at most because of his amazing footwork, amazing power and stamina, as well as ring iq. I wish people really looked into him more and realized how much of a beast that man was, but he fought in an era where the most popular and best boxers ever were on top and unfortunately failed to get the recognition he deserved.

Jersey Joe Walcott is massively underrated and was a nightmare to fight. Incredibly crafty with his feints and counter punches, he could surprise his opponents with unexpected punches. He could punch with both hands and was not shy about getting into exchanges. The shot that he knocked Ezzard Charles out with to win the title in his fifth attempt was one of the greatest one punch knockouts of all time. Walcott was ahead on the scorecards when Rocky Marciano detonated Suzy Q on his chin to take the title.

@UCj3WyvKakRXkE_d7ql3Do9wabsolutely spot on observation, his head movement was a sight to see but only because his footwork was a art full dance and the meaning of the "sweet science" which begins with footwork and his ability to create angles allowed him to move his head one way while moving his feet and lower half in another direction, combined together allowed him the ability to misdirect and then suddenly strike because his opponents thought he was too out of position to strike and more importantly it was also the key to his superb defense. Vasly Loma presently, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. come to mind in their ability to convert defense to offense and/or vice versa using angles denotes a sophsication and smarts that is present in boxing that is distinctly different from brawling. The "sweet science" is boxing and brawling is well brawling which has it's appeal if you like two opponents standing toe to toe to see who falls first.

@what. nbba What shocked me was reading that Louis said he never hit anyone as hard as he could. All the guys he KO'd probably would have been glad of that. As I recall, Walcott weighed about 196 when he fought Marciano, a good weight for him. Early on, and in his prime, Louis said he liked to come into a fight just under 200 lbs. He got heavier, of course, as he aged and like a lot of them fought too long. His heaviest came against Charles, when he weighed about 217. One thing about Walcott, he only stood about six feet, but had unusually long arms, don't remember his reach. If you look at him, his legs were relatively slim, but he was bull-like in the upper torso and had some big guns.

This is beautiful. Because of his spotty record- Jersey Joe is often overlooked in the pantheon of great heavyweights, but he was great. He was a beautiful, scientific boxer- and a murderous puncher. He was robbed in his first fight with Louis. Louis knew that he lost- he tried to leave the ring before the decision was announced. I love that little walk in the park that he takes- en route to decking Marciano and knocking out Ezzard Charles. Rocky had a lot of brass to take the punishment that Jersey Joe dished out. He would have beat most guys on that night- and he was nearly 40 years old! Great footage. Rare. Another gem from the Master/Reznick!

It's really a shame how he was robbed out of so many victories; especially in his first fight with Joe Louis. Edit: I forgot to mention that his chicken dance was also an amazing way to psyche his opponents into making a mistake. A phenomenal pugilist was Jersey Joe Walcott! He was before his time.

Jersey Joe has the easiest, soft-looking, effortless footwork I've ever seen. This was known as the "Walcott Shuffle." Both Rocky Marciano and Walcott had so much class and mutual respect. They were great boxers and true gentlemen. Walcott was badly robbed in the bout where he knocked down the beloved Joe Louis twice and lost a Split Decision. The result became a national outrage when Boxing was still counted among the most popular sports in America, Referee Ruby Goldstein was the only scoring official who got it right by scoring the match for Walcott.

The most beautiful uppercut ever landed on Charles. Switches directions to confuse and feint and be defensively active while loading power into his punches. What made it difficult to fight him is that he had something called a broken rhythm. One moment he dances around and the next moment, he suddenly breaks his rhythm at the most unexpected time to attack or he would feint and make you think he attacks and he did that so suddenly as well. What I like is that he has a tendency of sometimes moving towards you while moving like a pendulum. Actually, he was switching from orthodox to southpaw and then back to orthodox and so on while moving towards you which is being defensive while also pressuring in some sort of way. Jersey Joe Walcott had the ability to break your rhythm while keeping his own via feints, counters and catching you right on time as if he knows what punch is coming next. A rare ability indeed and difficult to master

2:13 thats the punch Rocky is taking about when he says "I remember that punch outta all the other ones." Thats the 12th round check hook to the body that hurt him worse than hed ever been hurt before or after. Its amazing that he kept coming forward like it didnt bother him and amazing that Walcott had the most lethal one punch check hooks in all of the 50s outside of maybe Robinson.
