/r/ Picks Canelo to Beat Ezzard Charles via KO

[Good ol' Douglas]

You are on *******. I recommend doing actual research, such as watching Charles fight against Llloyd Marshal to see how refined boxing was in the 40s.

Fighters, especially heavyweights tend to get better overtime. Floyd Patterson was a better fighter post-Liston, as proven by his fights with Ellis, Bonavena, and Quarry.

Forman was a better fighter as he aged not due to competition but due to mentality.

Canelo Alvarez who got nearly knocked out by Dmitry Bivol is not going the distance with Charles.

"Mentality"

This ain't an anime where you can willpower yourself to victory over highly trained professionals.

90s Foreman was simply a better fighter than his 70s version. Stronger, more durable, better punch selection, managed his limited gas tank better, etc.

Peak hipster watching some grainy black and white footage to claim they were so technical. They bouncing around like drunk bums throwing bombs.

I agree, Canelo puts Charles in the hospital.

Canelo had great odds of being heavyweight champ in that era.

Yall boys wild.....mofo who couldn't convincingly beat Trout or Lara....or even be competitive with Bivol or a 36 Y/o Blown up LW competing at 147 in FMJ.....but he can beat the Greatest LHW of all time and be the goddamn HW Champ in the 40s/50s.

Bivol didn't even go to the hospital that night....but Ezzard Charles is....hahaha CLOWN.

Just admit you want Canelo to peg you.

Bivol whitewash Ezzard Charles 12-0

look I will **** on old era fighters all the time especially people overrating marciano and all this other stuff.... but ezzard charles is a good deal larger than canelo, canelo is 1-1 at light heavyweight and doesnt even campaign there but rather carefully picks his fights there and one pick went wrong and he got dominated.

Ezzard Charles fought up to 204 pounds. he would flatten Canelo

I agree. No version of Canelo is even competitive with a man who beat Prime Archie Moore, Charley Burley, and Joey Maxim.

Boxing hasn't changed much since the 40's. Its the early 30's and prior where the sport looks unpolished.
