randall tex cobb vs ezzard charles.....

Possibly one of the worst mismatches in the history of the heavyweight division. Charles wins every minute of every round, in a horribly one-sided affair.

 

Ezzard should win this easy, but Cobb could win this late, especially if Charles tires.

 

Charles was much more skilled, quicker, and has proven to have enough punching power to kill a man. The only advantage Tex has is size, which isn't enough to win against a "great" fighter. I don't think Ezzard would gas out in a 12 round matchup.

 

Agreed. This could be almost as bad as Holmes v Cobb.

 

fight 100 times, Charles W UD10 100 times. no knock downs

 

:deal

 

What about the Charles post-Marciano?

 

That's an equine with different chromaticism.

 

This is the way I see it

 

Charles scores a shutout win. Cobb's tough enough to go the distance,mind you.


Charles posts something like 12-3,if it's a 15 rounder,on all three cards.

 

Charles would feint him into knots. He would be fifteen steps ahead the entire bout. Its not like Cobb was heavy handed or that Charles had stamina problems, so there's really no fathomable way for Cobb to win.

Chuvalo would be a more interesting fight for Charles. Yes, Chuvalo would be lopsidedly outpointed, but his body attack would make for a handful of interesting moments.

 

agreed 100%. if chuvalo could take rounds off peak ali, then he takes a couple off charles.

 

I think that Chuvalo was a much better fighter than Cobb.

 

There no doubt Chuvalo was leagues better than Cobb.

Its a real shame George is only remembered as a punching bag. He was a legitimate contender, as evidenced by his wins over Mike Dejohn, Doug Jones (when people were running scared from Jones), Cleveland Williams, Mando Ramos, and of course Jerry Quarry.

And there no way in hell Cobb would lose a one point decision to Floyd Patterson in a fight of the year.
