    Does he go undefeated if he fights them in 1947-1950

    Charles beats them all mostly because all of them were probably younger than 10 years old back then. Kidding, just kidding.

    Ezzard Is levels above all of these guys. Bonavena perhaps has the best chance if he can push Charles around. Jerry is tough, but would just take a lot of punishment and the other we have no chance at all.

    The Cincinnati Cobra goes five and oh against these guys.

    easy. Way too easy. Quarry is the only one i give a shot and even then, Charles is way too good.

    Jones was a good slick boxer but Charles is too skilled.
