One of the greatest P4P boxers of all time! Ezzard Charles has one of the best resume's in history along with one of the top overall skill sets I've ever seen. In addition to all of his other great assets, his counter-punching was superb so that's what I wanted to focus this highlight on. The Cincinnati Cobra at his best! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
@haNZAgod Can you do a highlight video on Legendary Blind Boxer Gypsy Joe Harris... the guy is really underrated, he's known as a masterful defensive boxer with only 1 loss to Emile Griffith who was completely blind in both eyes throughout his career.
@dennit1221 No he is right...their Greatness was overshadowed....especially after beating Walcott twice and no recognition?....he even beat Charle Barley...and was a ww2 hero....they throughly disrespected this man...dude is top 10
@surveying482 Exactly they thoroughly disrespected...probably because he was very intelligent....he even spoke Italian...he did beat Archie Moore 3 times....destroyed many legends....I even think about him when train.. I won alot of sparring because of him...with shoulder rolling
@@pandabear1576 his trainer who taught him how to box was from the Ezzard Charles era not sure if he knew him personally but they were all in the game together back in the day & he showed toney old videos
Scariest thing Charles counter punching abilities is that it's he can counter to head or body with either hand at any given time and both do damage. I'm not surprised that from Middleweight to Light Heavyweight he was ducked by the champions.
Well, he did win a non-title fight against Archie Moore. So I consider Charles an unofficial 3 weight division champ. He was the Amatuer Middleweight Champion, beat the Light Heavyweight Champion and a 2 time Heavyweight Champion. Even in his losses,Charles gave tough, competitive fights. I really think some of his losses came from fighting too often and weight cutting to Light Heavyweight sometimes on short notice. I think that alone added some losses on his record that could have been wins. Still, with victories against Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Joe Walcott, Jimmy Bivins, Rex Layne and Joey Maxim, as well as going the distance with Rocky Marciano 1 fight and nearly getting a TKO on Rocky the 2nd fight, I truly believe Charles is an underrated legend that should be talked about more.
@azraelknightquest5754 Most definitely. Ezzard Charles is one if not the most skillee fighter at Middleweight or Light-heavyweight Only one who I can see being more skilled at Middleweight is Marvin Hagler.
One could not expect more from a professional boxer. Mr. Charles had it all in terms of all-around boxing skills. He was a good standard bearer for the boxing profession as he was also a truly fine human being.
Man how do people like Ezzard Charles exist. He looks like a modern day boxer, so creative and fluid with his counters. Also incredible track for this montage, you'd never expect to hear Bonobo on a boxing highlight reel xD
That’s what I was thinking, he moves and counters like a modern day boxer, it’s incredible and beautiful, when you realise that he fought in 40s and 50s.
That’s the crazy thing about it if In our modern times we are in awe at the old school fighters Imagine how the fans in the 40’s-50’s thought when they seen this guys box so beautifully
Louis, Charles, Walcott and Marciano...what a time for the HW division, awesome fights anyway they were matched. Sublime, stylish, thumping, sometimes inspiring and always thrilling. Of that haughty class, Charles is arguably the cream of the crop...and that is high praise indeed. Legends all.
It's mind blowing how technicall and skilled fighter were in the 30's and 40's with some agression and fearless they put the fondation of the modern boxing in my opinion they were better than any era expect the 70's I don't know?.
I showed this video to my Grandfather whom is 90 years old and he was in awe watching the entire thing. Making all the fighters on screen. It was great, thank you. I will be subscribing and showing him more of your videos!
What an incredibly skilled boxer. Decent chin and amazing heart, too! Watching this, I was surprised once more about the kind of bombs he landed on Marciano. If the latter hadn't had the arguably best chin in boxing history, Ezzard would have ruled the heavyweight division like Louis before him - at under 190 pounds! Tells you all you need to know. Great fighter! Thanks for the highlights!
@@surveying482 Yeah, but a punching bag that moved awkwardly, was always looking for a way inside and threw an incredible number of punches, most of them power shots (an average of 67 per round against Charles). Rocky was a boxer who got hit a lot, sure, a bum he was not! I feel all those great boxers (Charles, Walcott, Moore) will never get the credit they deserve, if we don't start admitting to ourselves how good Marciano was. And God knows that can be difficult for a fan of the sweet science.
@@surveying482 Have u forget that ali was a punching bag as well? ali been hit 29000 times to the head only during his entire career way more than rocky u disowned many great boxers just to not admit rocky marciano is 1 of the greatest heavyweights in history the only undefeated heavyweight in HISTORY no one else could achieve this so far what a GREAT boxer marciano was the likes of fraizer louis evander mike wouldn't be able to lace his boots now go watch basketball boxing ain't for u 🤡
Ezzard was definitely an underrated fighter. He fell between Joe Louis later years and Rocky Marciano. Timing is a lot in boxing and in a different time he could have been talked about with the greats. He did beat Joe Louis, although well past his prime, and gave Rocky all he could handle. His style was such that he could be competitive in any era. A really tremendous fighter.
Beat Moore 3 times beat Charley Burley 2 times, Joey Maxim 5 times and Jersey Joe Walcott 2 times and many other good fighters along the way he fought the best and the rest.
Another stellar video! And rightly before Thanksgiving too! Ezzard Charles's ability to roll and slip off of punching FORM built-in defense is something often overlooked. In my P4P top 10 for a reason!
you have made several outstanding videos. but i think this might be my favourite one. the music choice with the black and white footage just gives it such an amazing eerie feeling, plus the fact that this focus on counter puching makes it even better. and charles also helped, he is one of my favourite fighters. besides having skill out of this world and nerver dodging and cherry picking, he just had such swagger and poise in the ring, he always looks so cool and composed. plus the way he moved and threw punches was simply stylish. anyways superb video, big props hanza
You know my feelings about Charles. THE MOST UNDERRATED fighter in history. An obscene resume and a list of great victims a mile long. What he would do today! I can tell you one thing for sure. alvaroids would have stayed the Hell out of the light heavyweight division if this MAN was there wiating.

He beat rocky in that first fight. Hate the narrative that he just started hot and ran Marciano close. Nah. He literally destroyed and schooled rocky in that first fight.
Ezzard was the definition of Bruce Lee's quote of fearing a fighter who practiced a move 1000 times. His main move was to catch his opponents jab with his right and then shoot a counter right off of that. A very simple move, but one he perfected.
@@cheetoyeeto1232 No he's below Langford, Greb, Robinson, Armstrong and a few others. He's would of easily been higher if he was allowed for title shots doing his time in both Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions.
One of the greatest boxers ever with great win over Archie Moore and Charley burley. He also went up to heavyweight beating Joe Louis, Jerseys Joe Walcott and going the distance with Rocky Marciano in a very close fight. I have him the 5th greatest of all time 1. Sam Langford 2.

Everyone's too terrified of having a loss on their record and they only fight once a year as well. Far cry from previous eras where they were hungry. An example is how many non title bouts Roberto Duran had during his reign as lightweight champion. He defended his title on average twice a year over the six years but also had another 22 non title bouts in that time as well.
Yes Golovkin Beats him. He was tough but Charles does not have the physical atributes that a modern elite athlete possesses. Prime G is way too fast & powerful. An over the hill Golovkin bullied two young light heavyweights (fight night) in Jacobs and Murata.
@@treacheroustrouser4652 he fought way past his prime, way past, and the competition was MUCH MUCH tougher in his era. And a zero loss was not as important as the Mayweather era. The fighters of that are did not pick their opponent, the ref and the judges. Ezzard was a blown up MW where he was at his best. These days young fans have been indoctrinated by the mediocre fighters of today who inexplicably call themselves GOAT. The case is strong for Ezzars and Robinson as the best pound for pound.
U ever looked at ring ratings 160 lbs 1940s the best boxers ie Charley burley Ezzard Charles etc never won or got a shot at the title Bert lytell Aaron wade etc all in the top 10 from around 1940-9 only Holman Williams i think got a shot was probably robbed vs cerdan who knows

He defended his title on average twice a year over the six years but also had another 22 non title bouts in that time as well.
Yes Golovkin Beats him. He was tough but Charles does not have the physical atributes that a modern elite athlete possesses. Prime G is way too fast & powerful. An over the hill Golovkin bullied two young light heavyweights (fight night) in Jacobs and Murata.
Самый великий непризнанный боксер
How come he has 25 losses?
He has a 74% win rate
@@treacheroustrouser4652 I mean how he lost to and why like how Duran lost because he was old same with ali
Ended up fighting way past his best years and actually had symptoms of ALS while fighting which later lead to his death.
@@treacheroustrouser4652 he fought way past his prime, way past, and the competition was MUCH MUCH tougher in his era. And a zero loss was not as important as the Mayweather era. The fighters of that are did not pick their opponent, the ref and the judges. Ezzard was a blown up MW where he was at his best. These days young fans have been indoctrinated by the mediocre fighters of today who inexplicably call themselves GOAT. The case is strong for Ezzars and Robinson as the best pound for pound.
Most of them came either when he was inexperienced or when he was past his prime

U ever looked at ring ratings 160 lbs 1940s the best boxers ie Charley burley Ezzard Charles etc never won or got a shot at the title Bert lytell Aaron wade etc all in the top 10 from around 1940-9 only Holman Williams i think got a shot was probably robbed vs cerdan who knows
