    It's not that hard of a group to overcome. I'd say that Charles faced better competition in his actual career.

    I'd say Witherspoon stands the best chance, Spoon of the Holmes ft was good and ready. Charles has to beat an excellent fighter there.
    Carl Williams too.
    Cooney is dangerous what anyone says, he could give Charles dicey moment s

    I'd forgotten to include Spoon.
    That's fixed.

    That changes quite a lot, Whiterspoon was legit.
