    Imo, Ezzard Charles' opposition, wins and resume overall was better .

    Charles has one of the best resumes in boxing history. If I was an employer and saw his resume, I wouldn't even need to take him to interview - instant hire!

    There's not a lot of proof for that outcome, outside of rosy-tinged remembrances of writers whose primes coincided with Dempsey's. And realize that Dempsey represented something entirely new and exciting, a break from the safety-first styles of Corbett, Jeffries and Johnson, a dynamic offensive performer. It is understandable why he was held in such regard.

    Ezzard Charles has second and possibly even third tier wins better than Dempsey.
