Joe Walcott- Black Boxer (master of the ring)

           I always enjoy informing about black history stuff.

So I’m getting to different areas and occupations of

black people in history and today. I’ve done mostly

black inventors articles and Whoa! There are alot

of black inventors. So happy to know about them!

But now I present to you one of the great black

boxers who mastered the ring!

       A black man named Joe Walcott was born March 13,

1873. He was from Barbados, British West Indies.

       Joe came to America in 1887 and lived and fought

in Boston Massachusetts. Walcott was 5-1 and a half

and 133-148 pounds. Yes, he was short and a squat

fighter with long arms and a very powerful punch.

(Baam !)

       His other wonderful fighting qualities is that

he is quick and durable. Joe Walcott is known

as the pound for pound fighter in boxing history.

The men he fought were both lightweight and

heavyweight. (See, very versatile. He was always

up for the challenge. He did not limit himself and

that’s all good for him)

    A variety of sports writers rank Walcott as the #1

all time Welterweight. Joe was inducted to the

Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1955 and the

International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.

         They gave him the nickname Barbados Demon.

(That’s quite a name! WOW!)
