    Who wins? I think Charles boxes his head off.

    :lol: Charles could probably box the best guys todays into the grave he'd waltz around Tua like he owned him.

    I'd give Tua a reasonable chance here. A lot bigger man, real crushing power and a great chin.He could be outboxed but I keep thinking about Walcott's left landing on Ezz's chin .

    I think we can narrow the potential winner down to either Tua or Charles.

    I give it to Charles, I belive he could possibly do it. But it's an extremely dangerous fight with that hook of Tuas. Seeing what he did to Ruiz. And Charles suffered the ko at Jersey s hands.

    I just don't think either one of these guys would hurt each other in a meaningful way. So I'll go for Charles on points more often than not.

    At heavyweight? If we're going to be honest, Charles didn't take the greatest shot at the higher weight. While he might be able to survive the full distance, I think 8 times of ten, Tua gets his punch in. And if he does, Charles is getting KOd

    I love Charles but I think he’ll be winning until he isn’t if you get my drift.

    Tua knocks him out. Charles is too small, fragile & chinny at HW. It only be a matter of time before the Tuaminator detonates that left hook on Charle's chin & he goes to sleep.

    You don't think Tua would hurt Charles?

    Not a fight but the 96-98 period is his “prime”.
    In fact his prime was way linger than that but after he became the no 1 contender for Lennox he stopped caring .

    So Tua can't catch Chris Byrd but he can catch Ezzard Charles?
