    One of Ezzard Charles title defences comes against an unbeaten Gerry Cooney?

    Result?
    15 rounds of course.

    HMMM Ezzard Charles, Ezzard Charles if he isn’t too effected by his affliction and has his legs… I wonder what that looks like, glad we have sooo much film of Charles in his prime… if he’s too deep into his visit at HW his legs will be lead and Mr Cooney might actually (upsettingly) take him out.

    Peak Cooney is a live dog.

    I'm not going to be the one to say that this thread title is awkwardly phrased to imply a slur. I wouldn't do that.

    1949 Charles?
    I think (hope) that Charles can fight through cooney s lethal bombs and take advantage of his I experience?

    Charles by knockout. Cooney was too one dimensional and overrelied on his left hook. Once Cooney’s left hook is neutralized he’d take a beating.

    Post-1954 Charles loses to Cooney like other washed up boxers did (Lyle, Young, Norton). Pre-1954 Charles knocks Gerry out.
