    Valentino made it messy though. Changed up the tempo a little bit. I wouldn't pay just to watch Charles, he needs a dancing partner.

    I take 5 fights from each of my two fav hws.

    Schmeling - Louis I
    Schmeling - Walker
    Schmeling - Stribling
    Schmeling - Sharkey II
    Schmeling - Uzcudun I
    Patterson - Moore
    Patterson - London
    Patterson - Johannson II
    Patterson - Chuvalo
    Patterson - Bonavena

    This may look a bit redundant but those fighters need to be mentioned more often in these kind of threads.

    Fair enough, you seen the Walcott and Charles highlights, look nice tactical fights you would appreciate?

    Personally, I am a big Charles an, i could watch him all day long. Love his boxer-puncher style.

    Yeah, he's definitely great to watch. I love his lead uppercut in the Valentino fight.

    Yeh, really nice punch. He uses it well on Marshall and ultimatedly ends the fight with a left uppercut to the body. Charles has one of the best left hands I have seen, up there with Ray Robinson.

    A decent Heavyweight scrap is Rex Layne vs Cesar Brion.

    mmmm?

    If McGrain is alright with it, I could send it to him along with Smith vs Johnson, but thats a bit cheeky.

    I could send you it if you want?
