    Epic in a literal sense as I went a bit overboard with the amount of footage I put in. If you aren't familiar with Charles's work and have some extra time to spend then have a look at one of the greats.

    Just checked it out on Youtube. Figured you'd have put up a thread by now. You sure know how to pick out the right moments for a highlight. Great stuff.

    Great video again TheGreatA.
    Imagiane Charles's place in history if he had gotten a shot at and won a championship at light heavyweight insteed of having to wait till the end of his career to win one at heavyweight. An argument can also be made for him deserving a shot at the Middleweight championship as well.
    The video above shows his skills and his resume is also top notch.
