    The best Baer vs the best Charles. Can Charles box his way to a victory or can Max starch him?

    I think Max gets him after round after round of frustration

    If its the best of each Max would win.

    I rank Max Baer slightly higher on my all time Heavyweight list. Head to head, because of styles, I think Ezzard Charles would win a decision over Max Baer most times.

    If its 10 or 12 I'd favor Max. 15 probably favor Ezzard. If Max gets knockdowns winning a 10 or 12 rounder will be hard for Ezzard even if he outboxes Max by a healthy margin.

    You think he could land clean on the chin?

    Eventually. I don’t think Charles can avoid Baer landing for the entire fight’s duration. It probably goes similarly to Ortiz-Wilder 2
