Earls walls lhw who hit harder than ezz charles

I mean, Ez started out at middle and sometimes had to stop training because he was so underweight. Yeah, he was capable of generating power do to speed, timing and athleticism, but there were guys who hit harder at heavy.

Also, he tended to coast when he got ahead when he fought at heavy. It bit him in the ass with some bad decisions.

 

Hi Buddy.
Agree with all your sentiments, mind you his one punch left hook KO of Satterfield is mighty impressive.
stay safe buddy, chat soon.
Mike.

 

Walls was one of the rare breed who retired while in his prime and still a ranked contender. His wife had just had a baby and he decided boxing was too dangerous for a man with his new responsibilities.

 

Earl Walls cousin is a pastor of a church by where I live

 

I hit harder than Moses Itauma

 

He was being looked at as a prospective opponent for Rocky Marciano when he retired. I believe he was only 28 and he wasn't shop worn either.

 

I would have paid to see Earl Walls fight Rocky. I'd have liked his chances.

 

Far as I know, Walls was 6'2 205-210 and had a heavy punch. Would have showed us what Rocky can do vs a top 200+ pound contender who can punch.

 

He had a draw with James J. Parker in 1955 who was stopped by Archie Moore and beaten by 7-2 Edgardo Romero in 54 he was also KO'd in 1 by Abel Cestac in 1950 who was 5-7-2 in 1950 - also split fights with Tommy Harrison in 54 who was 4-7-1 from 1953-1956 - he beat a few shot fighters, but I don't see Walls fighting successfully at the top level.
