    I think he would ve a young middle and gris into light heavy and stay there as this time he would get a chance at the light heavy title

    Charles v Frazier in their primes would be damn interesting. Also Charles v Foreman to. Could he outbox big George like young? Idk feel as if Charles is getting underrated here but at the same time maybe not? I could see him pulling some upsets and he’s def better then Leon so there’s that.

    He would beat Foreman, who is tailormade for him and I could see him also beating Ellis, Norton, or Tate. Frazier in top form would be a tough matchup for Charles as would Ali and Holmes.
