Harry Greb vs Ezzard Charles 10oz gloves

greb close at 160. charles above that.

 

Two of the very best of all time. I'd take Charles at his best to beat Greb.

 

Charles would have nothing to fear power-wise, he was not a big puncher with 5-6oz gloves much less with 10oz gloves. Charles was not a big puncher but had speed and skill. IMO Charles would cop a decision.

 

Bear in mind a young Charles was beaten and drew with a lesser and fading Greb-type in Overlin.

 

Charles at his best which was not young Charles beats any middleweight.

 

Overlin and Charles fought twice. A loss and a draw. In the first fight Charles was 17-0, the second fight Charles was 21-1. Overlin was vastly more experienced having 150 pro fights(122-19-6) in the first fight and 130-19-7 for the second. This was Charles' first big time opponent. Let's make it more equal by the time Charles had his 50th fight it would've been no contest with Overlin.

 

I was about to say the same thing.

 

Charles by easy UD. Greb would be slowed down a bit and his arm punches would be ineffective against the Cincinnati Cobra.

 

Charles comfortably

 

Before mayweather's shell there was Charles and his skull n crossbones defense.

 

Never seen Greb fight so can't comment.

 

I've never seen Charles utilise that:huh What fights can I see him employ it in?

 

Harry at any weight,he is a god from Olympus ,Charles is a mere mortal.
