    Look at Listons mighty mitt enveloping Ezzards hand, sad to think by end of that decade Ezzard would be struck down with motor neurone disease.

    Look how big Charles is.
    And they say Marciano never fought an elite SHW.
    I'm done with this forum.

    Wasn't Liston a sparring partner for Ezzard Charles early in his career?

    Great pic again @mcvey

    I am curious how close this was to Charles being ill. He looks good in that picture. I could never imagine looking at that picture that he would end up paralysed.

    Yeah, Charles gave him a beating too. I think the training was the for the Marciano fight but I'd have to check again.

    Liston obviously improved tremendously after prison, but Charles gave showed him levels in those sessions. I think Liston respected him a lot.
