      Wasn't Jimmy Bivins a Middle/light-heavy as well?

        Charles is strangely underrated by many, but of course he is not a #1 heavy.

          Charles may be deserving of this ranking at 175, but not HW.

                  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.

                  BULL****, by that criteria Holyfield is thirty times better that Charles.

                  That ranking is the most rediculous bull**** ever.

                    WTF are you talking about? Charles accomplished so much more than Holyfield did beneath heavyweight.

                      You probably never seen any footage from that time period, so you are not fit to talk about that era.
