In one of the Marciano fights he literally split Rocky's nose in two. Vertically. Stellar ring IQ, could punch like he had bricks in his hands and could've fought inside a phone booth, an all time great by any metric.

I don’t think there’s anybody who has a better resume than ezzard Charles…and beaten hall of fame fighters handedly. This guy had everything and then some. Yeah he didn’t talk much or showboat like other great fighters…but he was better than all other great fighters.

@@reissbxng2512 It took Charles 9 years to get a title shot, he never got one at light heavyweight and still beat every big name in that division including three straight wins over the amazing Archie Moore. He won a title at heavyweight and defended it 9 times which is a tremendous feat.
