    This knockout being the standout star. Charles throws the best 1-3's, 1-2-3's,2-3's, 3-2's and some of the best 1-2's i've ever seen. They never look that fast or heavy but they have a sort of piercing quality to them that put people's lights out. I wish we had more LHW or MW footage than the Marshall fight, because those punches must have been deadly with his prime speed, with a sort of ray robinson esque quality to them.

    I agree. If he used a turtle shell defense he'd probably be my idol.

    Ah yes, Clottey earmuffs, the sign of true defensive wizardry.

    Awesome KO's

    Can anyone recommend me some Charles fights?... the only ones I've watched are his two with Marciano.

    Think I need to brush up on my Ezzard know how!

    Charles' left hook is one of the best combo closers ever.

    Both of Ezzards fights with John Holman are available.

    He was faded, but still good.
