I love you Ezzard,you with your lithe ,supple brown body ,and your panther-like moves. I come over all tingly when I watch you. And you are much more handsome than Ike Williams.
Hilarious. But actually I'm doing this for a lot of fighters so we have records to compare (I was going to condense them into a single thread at the end) but if you don't like it then I'll just **** off.
Seems a good idea, your doing a good job, keep it up. :good Charles has one of the best resumes out there. Rightly named greatest light-heavyweight ever by the esb classic forum.
Thanks, well I was going to do another one tonight and then make the thread. With any luck it'll change the way people rate fighters like Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez, maybe substituting them with Ike Williams and Kid Gavilan. That's if they turn out to have better records :think
One of the deepest resumes from top to bottom. Those series with Moore, Burley, Bivins, Maxim, and Walcott are just great. Round that out with a pair of wins over Lloyd Marshall, Satterfield, Louis, Gus Lesnevich, and two over Rex Layne and all those other contenders, and its just awesome. Great stuff.
