    But you are not catering for the super middleweight period before the war with your "5 years" where it was very common for all top "LH" to weigh 168 or so.

    If every HW under 200 gets called a cruiserweight why not LH under 175 being called SMW

    hi to the forum again, and i do it again saying " it is boring like hell now how very overrated is ezzard charles on this forum," i have nothing against him at lhw, a top 3 surely in legacy, but h2h specially at hw he is overrated like if he was a force at that weight lol, patterson would have destroyed him literally at hw, recently i saw a debate here david tua vs ezzard charles,when i did read the comments of the people picking charles... i did not know if i should laugh or cry. and the argument was chris byrd lmao, because charles weighed 215 and was southpaw and as durable as byrd yes ,on the other hand david tua was probably x2 stronger than marciano, 40 pounds heavier,
    FASTER much more durable and did hit way harder with very good stamina but noway in the hell would have chance against the great charles nobody takes this forum seriously now, it is a circus, very nostalgic,biased and very boring
