what's up with evander on the top 10 and george foreman ouside? WTF?

No pay no attention to BoxRec's all-time rankings because they are flawed to say the least.

But one thing they do is carry over what a fighter did at a lower weight into the higher weight division, in which case it becomes more of a P4P computerized divisional ranking...In terms of P4P greatness, yes, one could make the case that Ezzard Charles was the single greatest fighter to have ever fought in the Heavyweight division.

No pay no attention

"No pay no attention"?

Yeah, my high school English teacher is going to be oh so proud of me for that one!

This thread is nothing without some uploaded footage of Ezzard Charles in action.

Time for the weekly ***** about boxrec's p4p list? Sounds about right.

Am I to take that to mean you've never seen Charles in action, Jack?

Its not about p4p you ******

In terms of P4P greatness I'd definately have Ezzard Charles inside my all-time top ten, which is more than what I can say for Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis (one or both might make it inside there, but they'd be behind Charles if they did).

Smart enough to properly make the quote function work. Rankings on Boxrec are done by a mathimatical formula and should be taken with a grain of salt.
