    Harry collects himself ,regroups,falls inside and sticks the nut on Ezzard ,breaking his nose ala Tunney.Charles does the Quality work and takes a majority decat 175,lower than that Greb by dec.

    Regardless of weight?

    I think I tend to agree with Mendoza on this one.

    Greb at 160, Charles at 175

    i think tunney gives the answer.
    tunney wouldn't have fared much better than charles in the 1950's.
    remember that tunney deserves an LKO against dempsey in the 'long count' fight.quite like bute-andrade.
    charles rangier and more powerful than greb. greb wouldn't have stopped charles , maybe the oposite wouldn't have happened either , but charles is simply bigger and stronger than greb. p4p i don't know who's better , maybe charles , maybe not. but h2h - charles.

    Depends on the weight either way i see it going the distance the higher the weight the better for Charles.

    I'd favor Charles in an extremely tough, close bout at 175 ..

    Charles on PTS in one of the greatest fights of all time.

    How many times was Greb dropped?

    From what I've read he was down only three times but considering he had almost 300 fights, I'd imagine he was knocked down more times than that.

    Charles is winning hands down at 175. Prime for prime I'm not sure anybody beats him at that weight.
