I think Ezzard Charles is a top 5 lb for lb ATG, I have him at 3 just behind SRR and Henry Armstrong. He beat Charlie Burley twice, Archie Moore 3 times, gave Joe louis his 2nd loss, gave Marciano all he could handle in the 1st fight, etc. What a great fighter he was!

Ezzard Charles was the greatest light heavyweight of all time. Its easy to see why in this video. Charles had amazing dymanite power, smooth boxing skills, an amazing jab and so much talent. Charles is so often overlooked for his greatness.

Anyone who could beat Charley Burley twice is not to be trifled with - because Burley himself made Moore look silly and was ducked by many a legendary fighter. Ezzard Charles was a walking encyclopedia of pure boxing technique. Period.

He was an opponents nightmare when he was a middle weight and light heavy weight. He was so good as a light heavy he couldn't get a title fight. Both Robinson and Charles were as good as Roy Jones was. They were ahead of thier time. Charles a great counter puncher; watch the films.

One of the best yet. Top 10 all time on my list. Loved the music, great stuff. I watched his 2nd fight vs Lloyd Marshall. I thought to myself how do you fight a guy like that? Both guys can bang, and both guys are elusive. But its almost impossible to hit a fighter who keeps low with a clean uppercut or right hand (because his chin isn't exposed and at a weird angle), when hes gonna trade with a right or left. And you're not gonna trade hooks with a guy like that either. Its a dangerous gamble, and its almost like you have to hold the guy once he gets close.

One of the best Light-Heavyweights of all time, but denied a chance at that title. Did very well against Heavyweights despite giving away weight and size. always had to work harder at the heavier weight. Later losses dont count as he was himself over the hill. As others have said he beat so many top fighters particularly at Light-Heavyweight. Dont count the Louis win since poor old Joe was just that "Old Joe"

A prime Joe Louis would have knocked him out and I like Ezzard Charles. Sugar Ray Robinson will always be the greatest of all times.

@CommKommando 6 жыл бұрын

From what I've seen it looks like Joe Louis had a large influence on the old school style. The right hand held for parrying, the left shoulder used as a shield. Early in Joe's career it seemed like fighter would fight more head on and then you see people like Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marciano emerge in a similar stance. Do you think Joe Louis was the best at it? I think he would've beaten Rocky in his prime, just because of Rocky being reckless at times, but Charles seemed like an updated Joe Louis. What would you say Joe did differently than Charles, what made Joe better?

My personal favorite fighter of all time. Easily top 5 all time in my eyes. And I think there's a good argument for having him as the #1 p4p fighter ever (although I think that's a subjective endeavor and good arguments can be made for the other usual suspects, Robinson, Armstrong and Willie Pep). Charles's body shots really stand out to me. He attacked the body with the same kind of killer instinct that he attacked the head. You don't see that in HW boxing these days.
