Ezzard Charles vs the following opponents

I would make him favorite over all of them, but I could see Lyle winning.

 

KO's shavers with beautiful counters

Foster isn't worth mentioning, Tko late rounds by charles in a 1 sided fight

Lyle I could see an upset for, but Charles UD.

Chuvalo gets UD'd by Charles and probably doesn't win a single round

 

Lyle and Shavers are the more dangerous. If Walcott could ko Charles from no where then they certainly could. In fact I could see a sudden ko from Shavers after being out boxed .

 

Walcott was a better puncher though, more handspeed, endurance and accuracy than shavers, much more dangerous. So, although the likes of Lyle and Shavers hit harder, it's much more likely that you'd be knocked out by Walcott

 

Charles should beat Shavers ten out of ten times tbh but it wouldn't shock me if Shavers pulled out a from behind ko against him though. More so if Charles got into a war like mode .But on boxing skills levels ,Ezzard is miles above Earnie .
I certainly wasn't down playing Walcott for knocking out EC by the way.That was a beautiful punch he got him with

 

Tbh shavers can do that to almost any fighter

 

I would favor him in all 4

 

That is called "the Shavers factor."

 

To this day, I still don't know how Holmes got up
