Ezzard Charles vs. Harry Greb

U dont ask for much do you Russell??!!! (kiddin)

I'll just pick Charles because he was imo the best ever of a larger weight category than the one in which i believe Greb was the best of, i know they both fought successfuly in each other's class, but this is just to make it easier for me to make a pick!!!!

 

If charles can go 15 with a killer pressure fighter,strong chinned and dynamite puncher like marciano then i like his chances v a swarmer like harold....

 

Very hard to say.

Would expect Ezzard to get the most nods because he was the bigger man in a similar premier league like Greb's, but you know Greb would cause all kinds of hiccups, even in such a strong era, had he been present.

 

Greb was a great, great fighter but so was Ezzard and a naturally bigger man and bigger puncher...I see Ezz winning but nothing was easy with Greb

 

Charles 10-5 sort of UD, maybe he stops Greb

 

At what weight? I'll go with Greb at 160, and Charels at 175.

 

Likewise. I would predict this to be a great, great fight.

Charles could be expected to be the "better" work...but how would the master boxer adapt to being inundated with punches?

I do not see Charles-Marciano as a good comparison for Charles-Greb. Greb may lack the lethal power of Marciano, but what he certainly will bring is volume. Even if it's agreed upon that Charles will last the distance, this match could very well come down to judging - quantity or quality?

 

I just had a vision.

Charles hit him on the way in with a powerful right hand that buckled Greb's legs and sent him stumbling backwards.

Who knows what happened next.

 

u mean like that perfectly timed right hand he hit valentino with?

 

Charles had his hands full with Valentino until he landed that right hand.

 

Nah, more of punch like Arguello's on Pryor (you know the one) as Greb came in.

 

Seconded.

 

Yes, we all know the one!
