    Can't ever remember coming across this film anywhere previously so I thought I'd post it for any Snooks and Joey fans out there (in other words fans of great boxers) - forgive me if I've ever posted this before - sometimes I have a memory like an eerrm......:huh

    Just thought I'd give this a boost up the list - just incase any ez/Joey fans totally missed it or anything

    peace

    Thank you.

    I have seen both in quite a few fights. It is interesting to see them in the ring against each other.

    What struck me is that the lightheavyweight champion Maxim looks the bigger man on this film than the heavyweight champion Charles. When Joey is away from the camera, his shoulders protrude on both sides of Ezzard. He is also taller. Ezzard looks smaller but much faster.
