    Tough call. Two all time greats fighting at a weight that I think they can both compete comfortably at. Not sure myself. Kinda leaning towards Ezzard Charles by a decision. We should make it a fifteen round affair.

    Charles at his best is maybe the all time p4p king for a reason. Charles by points or a late stoppage even.

    I think Charles is too slick so i favour him by close decision.

    Charles on a split in a one off or Charles 2 out of 3 in a series. Very close though and it would be similarly tough to call at light-heavyweight too.

    Charles SD. Spinks is the hardest match up for Charles at 175 IMO. Obviously this is at 190, where there's harder fights for Charles, but Spinks is still extremely live.

    190 is the perfect weight for Spinks, who wins by stoppage.

    No he doesn't. He definitely does not stop Charles.

    I’m not arguing who the best p4p is but no one...and I mean no one would put Spinks above Charles. Spinks as a HW has kind of a weak resume (don’t think less of him for that really wasn’t much out there at Hw).

    Tough one this. Two very classy operators who are well matched in almost every department. Maybe Charles' infighting ability gives him the edge.
