    Ezzard Charles who went the distance with marciano, first and only person to him 15 rounds. Could he take an even older foreman 12?
    So Ezzard of marciano 1 V foreman post Moorer?

    Foreman really was a old fighter post Moorer. His punches although hard became exceedingly slow. He was ripe for the taking. Charles fought a great fight that night vs Marciano and that Charles outboxes old Foreman.

    In agreement. Tough son of a gun was Charles. He out works old Foreman and looks better doing it than Shannon. He may take a few hefty blows but this Charles takes it and storms back. Ezzard by unanimous.

    Charles came so close to beating Marciano as he was one good punch from splitting
    Marciano face apart. Rocky after the Charles fight 's said they were the most painful fights
    he ever involved in . Charles would be too slick for a aging Foreman and would win on pts.
