Harry Greb vs Ezzard Charles 10oz gloves

Charles

 

I can see your point. But I gotta tell you I am still shocked at that footage.

 

A few seconds of training footage?

 

Charles was green at middle weight.

 

I think his (Charles) punching power is underrated.

 

67? You're past your prime. You're ready for the taking.

 

Greb

 

Great as Greb was, how can we pick him?

You can claim a stylistic advantage, swarmer vs. slugger.
But Greb had the same situation cs. The Fighting Marine. And said Tunney became too big for him-& Charles became prime at HW at about that same size.
Two ATGs, one taller & longer & 20 some lbs. heavier...
At a certain critical mass, say both over 200, it may not make enough difference.

Or if Charles was not fast enough to catch him enough.
I think that he would.

 

His technique looked awful
