    What's Charles' track record against awkward "dancing master" fighters? Can the Thongmaster get it done

    Off the top of my head, Burley, Maxim, Yarosz, & Oma were all renown for their boxing skill, & Charles was undefeated vs. them.

    In fairness though, Overlin did manage to beat & draw w/ a very young Charles.

    If by "get it done" you mean flopping on the canvas, then yes.

    I'm not sure I would call Corbett's style the epitome of orthodox boxing skill though, if anything he's an awkward Roy Jones\Hamed type where he's so fast, athletic and comfortable with the basics that he gets away with some of the most outlandish things you'd see in a ring. Probably applies more to Jim than it does to Roy though, but would this type of style be a unique test for Ez? I'm not very knowledgable on those men outside of Burley.
