Mike Spinks v Ezzard Charles At Heavyweight?

At light heavy I take spinks. Spinks knees were shot at heavy so that's a diff story.

 

I'd give Charles a slight edge as Spinks did struggle more with boxer types. He just barely squeaked past Eddie Davis and lost the first half of the Gregory fight. Ezz survived dangerous punchers like Moore and Ray in multiple bouts so I don't think he'd get KO'd, and I don't think he's KO'ing Spinks. Spinks did overcome a fine cast of light-heavies in his own time so he can't be written off though. A really tough call between two of the best ever light-heavies.

 

Charles via split decision. I think it would have been a very good to great fight to see.

 

I'd pick Charles by a couple of rounds.

 

Charles at light heavy and heavy

 

I was always a Spinks fan, but I take Charles against anybody his own size and weight. One of the best P4P fighters in history.

 

Charles.

 

Charles by close decision at either weight.

 

nicely said :good

 

Sounds like a slam dunk for Ezz and I didn't even have to bring up the 30-40 year era difference!
Charles. IMHO one of the top 5 pvp fighters ever. :good

 

Ezz by UD

 

:goodI agree with this and Spinks is one of my all time favs.

 

Charles beat Archie Moore 3 times at that weight, I got to go with Charles. Spinks was one of the greatest light heavy weight olympians of all time, but while a good champ as pro he was not an all time great
