    Two slick boxers with a fair amount of speed and tricks up their sleeves. At the end of the day, I think one of them was just better at it than the other..

    I'm going with Ezzard Charles.

    i'd go with charles too,in my opinion he's tops for light-heavies.
    he wouldn't have all his own way with conn though and as we all know ,billy liked a scrap.
    charles by decision !!

    Charles via decision maybe 9-6.

    I think Charles has too much all-around, plus was bigger and stronger at his peak.

    I give him the edge.
