    Anybody who doesn't think Ezzard Charles deserves his spot is simply out of their mind.

    A portion of one of the deepest resumes ever, and this is partial and unquantified:

    I won't bother to BOLD the Hall of Famers. They're all ****ing Hall of Famers:

    05/42: Charley Burley (#2 MW) W10
    06/42: Charley Burley (#2 MW) W10
    10/42: Joey Maxim (#8 LHW) W10
    12/42: Joey Maxim (#8 LHW) W10
    01/43: Jimmy Bivins (#1 LHW) L10
    03/43: Lloyd Marshall (#1 LHW) LK8
    05/46: Archie Moore (#1 LHW) W10
    06/46: Lloyd Marshall (#4 LHW) W-KO6
    11/46: Jimmy Bivins (#3 HW) W10
    03/47: Jimmy Bivins W-KO4
    05/47: Archie Moore (#2 LHW) W10
    09/47: Lloyd Marshall (#7 LHW) W-KO2
    01/48: Archie Moore (#1 LHW) W-KO8
    09/48: Jimmy Bivins (#6 HW) W10
    02/49: Joey Maxim (#1 LHW) W15
    06/49: Joe Walcott (#1 HW) W15
    09/50: Joe Louis (#1 HW) W15
    03/51: Joe Walcott (#7 HW) W15
    05/51: Joey Maxim (#3 HW) W15

    Yer fair enough but top 15 heavyweight? Not sure about that

    Edit: just brainstorming in my head I think I'd have him around 16-17 so I guess that's a fair point

    That was another poster.

    I don't care where Charles rates at HW. He's the #1-2 LHW of all-time and P4P Top 5 in my book. He got out of the Army and started shittin' all over the game, emphatically avenged his losses to Bivins and Marshall, beat Archie Moore thrice times, Maxim several more times, Walcott twice and although past-prime, #1 contender Joe Louis. People want to talk about 'best wins'... when they run out of ATGs and start listing rated contenders, Charles is still counting his ATGs.

    Jones and Chavez should be on that list. Whitaker out.

    He lost to Leonard and Hagler. :-(

    That would've helped. Quite a bit.

    Agreed. Ezzard Charles seems to go unappreciated despite a very solid resume many of the "big names" can't even compete with.

    Surprised (in a good way) with Pea, but got to agree with the others that Ali is just too low.

    I would've cried too if he won as congressman of my area.
    And make migration plans as soon as he runs for President/VP.

    The February 2012 issue of Ring(where I posted the list from) also has Top 10 fighters by the Decade, from the 1920s-2000s. I can post the lists if you are interested.
