    If Charles was 6'2" tall 210 pounds with the same skills he showed how good would he be?

    The extra reach would have made him hard to beat and he might have beat anyone 210 and under with his new 6'2 height.

    If Foreman had Tyson’s hand speed he would be almost unbeatable.

    If George Foreman had Rocky Marciano's stamina would be be unbeatable?

    If Ali had Foreman's power would he be unbeatable?

    If Marciano had Patterson's footwork and speed would he be unbeatable?

    If Ike Ibeabuchi had Patterson's moral code, would he be unbeatable?

    If Tyson had all of YouTube Tyson's attributes and unlimited power, would he knock Ali out in 1 round?

    Charles was already an ATG heavyweight

    Hard to say, since if you change a fighter's physical attributes the whole fighter changes. But, most likely Charles wouldn't be as good a fighter, since he'd be slower and an easier target. My trainer, who is in his 70's now sparred with many of the top heavyweights from the 60's to 70's, which included Big George, Ron Lyle, Jerry Quarry, Henry Clarke, etc.. and mentioned sparring with Carlos Monzon and Bobby Chacon being harder, since they were smaller targets and difficult to land on.

    I see Charles as a definite ATG P4P,but not at heavyweight,good,very good, but not an ATG.

    If he had the same power I don't think much would have changed,possibly his resistance to punches might be enhanced by the added weight?

    He'd beat any man who dared weigh below 230. And 75% who weighed above it

    75%? There's only 2 230lbs+ fighters I favor over normal Charles, that being Lewis and Wlad. I could be convinced of Bowe above him as well

    Besides that, who do you think would beat this hypothetical 210lbs Charles?

    To be honest 75% was selling Ezz short.
    I'd favour Lewis, Wlad, Bowe and Foreman (was prime foreman 230+?) over this Hyperthetical Charles
