All George benton fights 😊 he was probably the best technical defensive fighter ever he had the best parry in the world 🌎

Think he would of been the best fighter ever if he didn't get shot and kept range like Floyd jumping in and out of range.

I'd put that left hook right alongside any other in history: Robinson-Fulmer, Foster-Tiger, any great fight ending left hook. As soon as it landed, the fight was over. No count necessary. Charles was a special fighter.

Agreed.

I appreciate that

Combined Walcott Charles Moore Louis already had 431 fights before they fought Rocky. Add the 96 fights Louis had during his 4 year military service, that's 527 fights not to mention Walcott and Louis retired for 6½ years. Those four were already ring worn and washed. Anyone that says otherwise is biased.

@@Samantha_Lavery_Medici that’s a ridiculous statement that is not worth arguing about. Apparently you don’t know anything about the great Ezzard Charles

During the deepest era in light heavyweight history Gold Medalist Undisputed Undefeated HOF ATG GOAT Michael Spinks beat Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, and knocked out Yaqui Lopes and Marvin Johnson. Which was not easy to do in their primes. Michael also beat Heavyweight champion Larry Holmes to win the title, who was also undefeated. Michael Spinks is the most accomplished light heavyweight in history. LH Charles lost *("25")* times and was KO'd *("7")* times. LH Moore lost *("23")* times and was KO'd *("7")* times.

Failing to name even one proves my comment rings true. Show me any respected boxing publication or analyst that claims Charles Moore Walcott Louis were *"prime"* when they fought Marciano?

​@@Samantha_Lavery_Medici ​​ Not sure wether the pic is of you Samantha you are absolutely stunning if so! But I also liked your post about Marciano. And your knowledge on Abe Simon KO'ing of Jersey Joe Walcott very true. Abe Simon 6'4" 260lbs went on to fight the great Joe Louis in 1942. If the pic is you 😍 More then just a pretty face, tc and cheers 🍻

@@black_David_bobbyd5276 uhhh, I know all about the great Bob Foster. Great left hook and lost to every HW he faced. Ezzard twice beat the great Charlie Burley at MW when he was just out of his teens in the late 1930’s. Ezzard went on to fight LHW but was not offered a shot at LHW title and after he killed Sam Baroudi he started fighting at HW. And oh! Ezzard twice best Archie Moore. Ezzard went on to the HW title. Bob was a great fighter but his resume does not compare to pound for pound all time great Ezzard Charles.

Its not a one way solution. Best is handmade and manual adjuszment. Best full automated solution is deoldify

@@LegendsofBoxinginColor you think If id run Muhammad Ali vs Ernest Terrell it would come out in good color in deoldify?

@@TheGreatestBoxing7 it would look maybe similar to this video here but more unstable in color. And it will take a lot of time. Im actually just working on this fight, but with handcolored frames

@@LegendsofBoxinginColor Oh nice, I did try coloring some clips of Ali but they always came out bad with the color

@@TheGreatestBoxing7 you need to adjust them before sending them into deoldify

Lol smoke anyone....he can't even smoke Jersey Joe Walcott and Rocky Marciano

@@chaosdromanah8620 You do realise he was already suffering from early symptoms of ALS in 1951?

@@imperator3649 In the 1968 interview of Ezzard Charles, Ezzard himself state that he started noticing the symptoms of ALS in 1955

@@chaosdromanah8620 In Detloff's biography he says Ezzard's family first noticed something off in 1951. In 1955 it only gotten worse. I cant find the interview you mentioned can you link it up?

Satterfield wasn't in his prime either.
