Ezzard Charles Versus Evander Holyfield- Who wins & Why?

[Dr. Z]

disagree with the 220 lb holy being too strong, hes blown up and looked bad in many fights at this weight - cumulating with a toney knockout. Holyfields nastiest weight at heavy was about 208-210. This is a geared up and young holyfield. Holyfields non juiced weight was probably high 190s

My point at 208-210 he was too small to handle Bowe and Lewis. On fair score cards, omitting the bogus draw he was1-4 vs Bowe and Lewis.

well there was a ref and he made certain decisions regarding any allegations about butting. I trust refs, even bad refs a lot more than judges... I can only assume his discretion and understanding, vis a vis his proximity allowed him to make a judgement of sorts.

Tyson complaining about fouls is the height of irony.
Not a fan of Don Turner's.

I'm going to give Holyfield the edge here. He's a little heavier, with a 4" reach advantage. I think EH has a better chin as he his only KO losses were TKO's. EC had 7 KO losses, 4 KO's and 3 TKO's. Also, EC was a hooker. Evander works behind his jab, eats Ezzard's hooks, wins by TKO in later rounds. UNLESS, he fights his usual style, in which it would become a hook battle. They say, don't hook with a hooker, in which I would take EC by TKO.
