Ezzard Charles vs. RJJ/Toney/Bhop

[paulsinghnl]

so to me, Charles would beat them, but i would like to know how?

i've looked up stuff on him, but i can't wrap my head on HOW he would fight these guys,
Roy Jones at least with that stiff cobra jab,
Toney most likely with fast combo's, unique one off punches

and then Bhop is mister gameplan, so it'd be interesting what Naazim and BHop would come up with.

that's kind of the foggy idea i have. what do you guys think? give me some real insight, not "you're dumb, you don't know anything, go away", i wanna learn more about why Charles is the best LHW ever. i've seen him fight, but i wanna see the expert opinions on the style match ups.

[paulsinghnl]

hey come on guys, no one can help me with this?

[SplitSecond]

roy beats him silly

[paulsinghnl]

naah man, i don't think it would go like that. Roy could prob. be tricky with him, but i know Ezzard Charles was pretty slick with his defense and counters too.

How many of Charles fights are there even full video of?

[New England]

i think he'd pretty easily impress judges more than bhop
if hopkins doesn't implement his gameplan and reduce a man to nothing (which he very often does) it's relatively easy it seems to do more than he does in terms of being effective with punching



toney would figure out a way to hit him with some of his business
i think he's just too crafty to have problems with anybody's level of skill, even somebody like charles.
but again, would come up a bit short against a harder, more crisp, very accurate, faster puncher and mover with a much better engine
closer decision than hopkins. toney might even knock charles down with his clean counterpunching
but charles would still impress the judges more
maybe 11 to 4 in rounds with a point to toney for the knockdown


now with jones..
charles never fought anybody as fast as jones. not even close.
there's a possibility he's the fastest man of his size to ever fight. hopefully you guys don't need me to tell you this, but roy jones in his prime was super human.

but timing beats speed EVERY SINGLE TIME
charles via knockout

[Pastrano]

He beats RJJ and Hopkins and draws with Toney.

[paulsinghnl]

wow very interesting answers! i agree with New England's post. i wanna see some more views though.

Jones: Timing>>Speed. Charles has both. Roy has speed.
B-Hop: There arent any fundamental flaws, or really any flaws in the technical area for Hopkins to expose.
Toney: Lights out picked up most of his tricks form Walcott. Hey, look who beat Walcott 2/3 (actually 3/4) times

LOL at Roy not having timing.
