Ezzard Charles - Was an American professional boxer and former World Heavyweight Champion. Charles defeated numerous Hall of Fame fighters in three different weight classes. He retired with a record of 95 wins, 25 losses and 1 draw. Charles won the vacant National Boxing Association Heavyweight title when he outpointed Jersey Joe Walcott over 15 rounds on June 22, 1949. The following year, he outpointed his idol and former World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis to become the recognized Lineal Champion. Successful defenses against Walcott, Lee Oma and Joey Maxim would follow.

One of the 10 best to ever do it...ever. Warrior and gentleman, a role model to any young boxer with an eye for class.
The Walcott-Charles series was a masters level class in heavyweight technique.
no it wasn't, it was boring as hell
@@SuperAttitudeera casual
SuperAttitudeera disrespectful idiot
@@SuperAttitudeera nice joke.
Two master technicians , a true game of chess
He was WAY ahead of his time! Nothing but respect for The Cincinnati Cobra.
I love EZZARD CHARLES!! he was so patient and methodical with his movement. He brought a certain type of grace in the heavyweight division and that's why he's one of my favorites. He could move,he was slick,and had a DEVASTATING right hand.
Truly one of the earlier masters in the heavyweight division. Love that guy to death. May he R.I.P.
I think you mean LHW. He is the greatest LHW
@@surveying482 True lol but he also fought at HW
The ONLY fighter that Charley Burley couldn't beat - no matter how hard he tried.
That's scary.
True...but in fairness Burley was a lot smaller,...and one of the fights he had injury going in. Burley was amazing!!
Yes Charlie was probably giving about a stone away too Ezzard and that's a lot for anyone too do
@Ninja Squirrel and avenges most of his losses but never against Ezzard despite facing him twice
Or Archie Moore. In 3 meetings Charles outclassed him. And their weights weren't any different.
@@daddydaddy_c00l82 well if he fought ali it would have been prime Ali in the 60s he is definitely losing and not knocking him out. Sonny Liston with a longer reach failed to touch an inflict any damage on ali.
Pirme Charles was as explosive as Robinson but bigger . He was no less than amazing .
For all his greatness in the ring , a true gentleman outside it . Anyone interested should look up his autobiography a boxing life. Easily top 10 pound for pound ever.
Yeah, and the greatest Light Heavyweight of all time in my opinion. Even when his speed declined with age he still had a granite chin, was tough as nails and a huge heart
@@clownnworldorder 100% brother and a real gentleness to him aswell. One of the best to ever do it .
@@clownnworldorder It may have not been age as assumed, it may have been the onset of ALS. Nobody knows what causes that, he took a tremendous beating in his first fight against Rocky Marciano. It's said he was never the same after that fight. I remember an advertisement from about a year before he died that flashed between his fights and him sitting in a ring and in a wheelchair it was a public service announcement urging people to donate to research for Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as ALS.
Just bought it. Thanks for the recommendation! What a legend
@@frankpaya690
Rocky Marciano blatantly headbutted Ezzard Charles and the referee clearly saw it and turned a blind eye. ua-cam.com/video/d85PqloBq68/v-deo.html
If alive today this man would rule the light heavies. The same goes for Bob Foster.
combinations, angles, timing, footwork, this dude has it all
he sets himself up perfect for getting maximum leverage. smart as they come.
Boxrec currently ranks him no. 1 p4p all time.
Gotta love Ezzard Charles. Such a beast in the pocket.
That pull-counter @0:52 was smooooooov
True. It looks like something out of a movie.
Brutal
the greatest light heavyweight of all time
jarrel cain Close, Archie Moore is.
+michaelbird27 no he beats Archie Moore he has the better resume
He did best Moore twice, but they were 10 rounders. He was never a champ at light heavyweight. I'd put Roy Jones Jr and B-Hop up there too though.
+michaelbird27 I will agree both of those b hop I like james Toney over Roy jones
+jarrel cain nonetheless Archie Moore is one of my favorite fighters of all time
Truly a rich and extensive resume... that’s why I consider this man on of the greatest
Absurdly underrated god
Even more impressive when you take in the full scope of the opposition he was doing this against.
He beat “The Brown Bomber” Joe louis, Man that should be all I have to say about this gentleman. Such an important part of boxing history, a person who every boxer should study and never forget.
Yea he did but put this in context the great Joe Louis was an old man past his prime, and if you look at Ezzard Charles’s face after the fight you’ll think ain’t no way he won this fight.
This man was a monster. If I recall correctly. he once killed a man and since then he held back when he fought. Its amazing that he was the only man to ever go 15 rounds with Rocky. I don't know whats amazing, that he could go 15 or that Rocky could last 15 against him.
Ricardo Onzalez he was never the same after that fight tho thats the only down side of there fight
Hamza Khaliq i know but he wasnt the same fighter tho he wasnt as vicious
Daddy_daddy cool he busted marciano’s nose in the second fight, we’re it not for marciano’s trainer, Marciano woulda lost
He's was past his best when he fought Rocky too, think the Charles of the late forties would have comfortably outpointed Marciano
@@paullav6651 And if your Aunt was your Uncle she would have a pair of balls
The original fantastic 4
Louis
Marciano
Walcott
Charles
Danibo Gizmo Marciano is the Thing !
agreed
The only difference was that with the original Fab 4 is that they all at least took one L against someone. Marciano beat them all. Though you can say Jersey Joe outclassed him up till the KO
Ho-Lee Chit i agree thats very true. I love Jersey Joe tho. His ko of Charles in the 3rd fight goes down as one of my favorites ever. You should check out Reznick highlight tribute to Jersey Joe. Just beautiful.
I've seen it. Watched a lot of Jersey Joe when it came to the study of footwork along with Pep and Locche.
Ezzard Charles was a fantastic boxer very athletic great footwork fast and accurate hands he could take a punch and comeback even stronger in shape very economical a man in and out of the ring class act took on all fighters a midcentury master
The Cincinnati Cobra. One of Toney's idols. Nice work.
Lou Duva indeed, i believe Charles is Toney's favorite fighter.
He might say Hearns is his #1--he loves the guy.
Lou Duva thanks for the info mate, i didn't knew it :)
:)
Lou Duva Would you Consider The Cincinnati Cobra as one of the greatest fighters of all time ? Such an extensive resume
Beautiful boxing, just beautiful
absolutely. masterful technique.
A legend with great hands and powerful execution with his strikes.
Massive respect to what Ezzard Charles achieved and most notably many of his era were always the most respectful, down-to-Earth people on the planet.
I love reviewing the footage of these great boxing legends.
RIP Ezzard Charles you boxing great
Charles, Robinson and Duran. I wouldn't dare to pick one but those 3 are the greatest P4P boxers of all time. Three perfect complete fighters.
But what makes Ezzard special is that his boxing resume is without a doubt the best in history. Nobody is even close.
I agree about his resume--he has legitimately outstanding wins at middleweight, light-heavyweight AND heavyweight. No one else can match it. If only we had the best of prime Charles on film.
Ali is 2 levels below those three. You are obviously a casual fan who repeats "Ali the greatest" like a broken record. Although Ali is one of the best he is also one of the most overrated boxer of all time.
I agree about Ali. For example, I had him losing all three Norton fights, as well as the meeting with Jimmy Young. He was great but not the first-tier great he's made out to be.
You tend to overuse double standards all time and pick only those points that are convinient to you. I am not even going to break down your last post since it's full of shit and lies in every single sentence.
No... how is henry armstrong not in there??
Charles was fantastic boxer.
Pound for Pound he's right up there, like a 1940's Roy Jones (Jones of the 90's), pure class
His speed isn’t even close to jones who is the fastest boxer ever don’t be delusional
@@surveying482 jones' resume pales in comparison.
@@cheetoyeeto1232 that’s fine Jones beat Charles at LHW if they fought the speed would be to overwhelming combined with power. Charles is the greatest LHW but Jones still wins
@@surveying482 jones at lhw couldnt finish a 40 year old mccallum.
@@colorado2455 To be fair, no one could. McCallum is just as tough as diamonds.
0:24 he took that jab like it was nothing
That sleak and clean technique... Such beauty to watch!
Ezzard Charles man,,,wow! What a fighter💥💣
Beautiful indeed.
Hanzagod has the sexiest videos of boxing in history the music is amazing the footage placement is amazing and sequenced in a way that truly shows how legendary all these great fighters were.
Ah thanks mate glad you like them :)
some of those knockouts are brutal
Wow imagine him fighting in this era
My fAther was named after him!Ezzard Charles...I am a Jr and my son is the third!!So cool to watch my namesake!!my son is 9 I am showing him this..This is the first night I knew he killed someone in the ring..us Ezzard Charles are fighters..physical and mental 💯
Man that’s so awesome! Your grandfather really named his son well!
Damn the man can hit! Didn’t know he put “Jersey” Joe down.
One of the most beautiful left hooks I've seen that didn't put the guy out for the count.
Best highlight I have seen on this forgotten legend.
The more I watch Ezzard Charles, the more convinced I am that he might be, bar Ali, the most skilled heavyweight of all time.
He was better at lightheavyweight, too
Ali is overrated, anyway. Sonny Liston and Joe Louis are both far better boxers than Ali. Ali didn’t even know how to slip or duck, let alone infight.
@ravagesovereign6701Ali is quite clearly the best heavyweight no question, just too many hall of famers on his resume. But Ezzard Charles is technically superior, Ali done everything wrong but made it right.
Awesome post. Atmospheric. Great work!
great champ ,one of the best!
him and robinson were just simply monsters. had robinson able to withstand the heat and win against maxim, a fight between them would have happened!
These are heavy weights bro
@@truthbeyond3624 Ezzard charles is the best light heavyweight ever, he moved up to heavyweight
Walter Bjorkroth he also moved up from middle weight before that.
love robinson but that would have been a mismatch.
Cornelius Crewe agrees. Ezzard would have sliced him up all night, high chance he would have stopped him. That’s crazy, considering he started his amateur career as a featherweight and ended up as the fucking heavyweight champion of the world. That’s the real goat in my opinion.
Ezzard Charles would have been even greater had his health not deteriorated from late 54/early ‘55, not long after his KO defeat by Marciano. He was already suffering from clear symptoms of ALS, a motor neurone disease that was to cripple him horribly and kill him 20 years later. It’s surprising how the state athletics commission did not know this and allowed him to box on for 10 more fights over 5 more years, they should have known as much as he did that his health was in serious decline.
Great fighter very underrated
great timing with his right cross. Lovely compilation. Thanks for sharing.
0:52 Ezzard actually missed those punches. The other fighter was actually shot by a sniper.
??
@@doedee7206 Its a joke. HOpe that helps.
@@mr.nobody9697 shi thought u was fr because it didnt really look like a snipe
Incredibly smooth fighter
0:25 those left hook combinations . wow .
Ezzard Charles quick on his feet and he had power.great fighter didnt get his due
Charles/Walcott has gotta be one of boxing's most legendary rivalries
That shot at 3:00 to 3:04 holy shit!!! Beautiful
I have him as the 🐐
One of them for me but an excellent fighter nonetheless
Awesome, NZA! Punishing left (lead or counter). Electric right (straight, hook, or uppercut). The Cincinnati Cobra one of my favs from the best era of heavyweight boxing. Almost 20k subs, NZA. There’s no stopping you. I say you hit 30k before the years out.
10k was always the goal so 20k would be amazing. 30 would be great
One of your best!
Great video. You picked good highlights. He had similar movements to SRR. A little slower on his feet and with his punches but with better counters. That counter right is fuckin savage. It reminds me of Holyfields. Or Holyfields reminds me of his. Charles is one of the greatest fighters in the history or boxing.
Salute!
One of the best boxers of all time P4P! The Cincinnati Cobra. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
Fantastic video of a fantastic fighter, Charles is one of the very best boxing has ever seen.
The soundtracks on your videos are great, not the usual generic rap that I personally find distracting...
Incredible!
Pat valentino was a friend of mine from San Francisco. He fought Charles at the Cow Palace in 1949. He told me all about his fight with Charles how he took fight short notice, and he had the flu. Ezzard was a great fighter under-rated. thanks for sharing, like the music.
Valentino was a very brave fighter he always gave it everything he had. Charles was a different class though.
great boxer
Ezzard Charles fought about 34 fights at light heavyweight (see below). At light heavyweight, Charles beat the two greatest light heavyweight champions of his era. He beat Archie Moore every time he fought him (3 times) and Joey Maxim every time he fought him (two times). At light heavyweight, Charles also beat another hall of famer Jimmy Bivins twice. Charles got revenge by knocking out two great boxers who beat him earlier, Lloyd Marshall and Jimy Bivins. Charles was beaten at light heavyweight by a controversial split decision to the very experienced Elmer Ray and then Charles knocked Ray out a year later at light heavyweight the next time they fought each other.
Charles was never given a chance at the light heavyweight title and he moved up to heavyweight to get larger pay days. At light heavyweight, Charles knocked out all 3 boxers (as mentioned, two of them hall of famers) who had beaten him earlier in his career. Nobody ever got the better of Ezzard Charles at light heavyweight including the 2 best lt heavyweight champs during the years when Ezzard boxed, legendary, Archie Moore and the dude who beat Sugar Ray Robinson, Joey Maxim.
Charles is P4P one of the best ever. The greatest light heavyweight that ever lived, absolutely, Ezzard Charles.

You are forgetting about Billy conn. If my memory serves me well enough I think Charles beat conn
@@shameemunisa5786 Billy Conn preceded Ezzard Charles. Conn was champ in late 1930s and early 1940s at light heavyweight. Conn boxed Louis twice, not Charles. Charles kicked ass at light heavyweight beating the top boxers shortly after Conn was a major player in the division.
Good job,good music,thank you)
The real Goat. 3 division champion when there were only 8 weight classes. Never allowed to fight for the middleweight title which was his most natural weight.
His name belongs in any discussion as to who is the greatest. Boxrec has him P4P in all weight classes based on their points system, while Ali is at 15.
I don't think anyone fought and beat more all time greats than Ezzard Charles.
Song name? Very spooky and fitting piece
Auditive Escape - Sweet Division
What a beast!!!
He would have been 100 today
Wow, a fighter born. When you see this type of fighter, it's easy to recognize the best fighter of a particular era. I often wonder who would be the best fighter OF ALL TIME. Who knows, but the question is awesome.
Sugar Ray Robinson of course!
Happy birthday champ
Reminds me of Sugar Ray Robinson so much.
Greatest light heavyweight of all time (along with Archie Moore of course haha)! He fought and beat the best in both his division, and the heavyweight division!
Yeah. Sadly too good for his own good. Beat every name there was at light heavy and no one would give him his title shot so he went up and took the greatest prize in boxing.
Have to give him the nod against Archie since Ezzard won all 3 of their meetings the last of which by knockout.
Much respect to Ezzard Charles but he lost to The Rock twice - Charles took a beating in the first fight and Rock put him on Queer Street in the second.
@@jingqi9106 yeah but Charles was a natural light heavyweight and he was past his prime by then
@@somethingrandom7026 Ezzard Charles was naturally a middleweight
Charles pvp is one of the best ever, great video as always. Can you do Shane Mosley highlights next.
Already got a Mosley video bud just check the channel.
Beutiful fighter so fluid yet powerful. Only lacked size for a heavyweight
Ezzard split marciano s nose in his fight with him
2:16....Who the fuck is the dude who took that right, toe turned and all..... jeez he got a chin!!!!!!
His hooks were his jab lol
He actually used a good jab, this video just didn’t really show it
Scary.
Dude was so ahead of his time I box and sheesh dude could have definitely been a problem today but the offense first defense last approach
Of those days is why they were so fucked up later in life dudes hand speed and fundamentals were nice though
00:45-47.. how Rocky didn't go down from that right hand bomb, only God knows... wow
Rocky had a great chin, underrated chin honestly.
Reminds me of Aaron Pryor...could be wrong since it's before my time, but his flurries are accurate as fuck!
Ezzard Charles was A good fighter I like All the Fights he With The technician Jersey Joe Walcott Classic fight s
What’s the name of the instrumental in the background?
I Love The exchange Between Joe Walcott nd Charles ... As Charles step outta The Center , off to the side ... Joe Comes in to land a Hook , No ones home nd then Booom!!!
He was like a heavier version of Robinson
Stylistically they weren't much alike in my opinion but they were both great fighters.
Beautifully brutal left hook that last guy that got dropped had a helluva chin he was taking some serious shots throughout this vid
The name of the fighter is Pat Valentino.
Jim Cameron Thanks!!!!!
Name of the beat please?
Had to check this guy out. He beat Jersey Joe & Louis.
More importantly he beat Archie Moore (3x), Jimmy Bivins, Elmer Ray, Lloyd Marshall and Joey Maxim.
What's the name of the instrumental?
Is there any footage of Charles in his prime?
Yeah
That left at 1:07 (believe that was against Jersey Joe Walcott) was reminiscent of Ali’s knock out of George Foreman. He was about to clean it up with the right as Foreman was falling and he was circling. That right would have had him out for sure! Classic action - classic era.
He was a fucking beast!
The Mythical Cobra!
Ezzard Charles went left after his opponent threw the right hand. 1. Charles caught the jab with His rh. 2. Charles shoulder blocked the rh. And moved left, this prevented his opponent from throwing a left hook.
Charles could crack ! Awesome boxer
Top 20 all-time in my opinion. People forget that like Ray Robinson, he killed a guy in the ring and I believe it affected him worse than Ray.
MJ Johnson top 10 easy
Rajni Kanth, a top 10 is just soooo difficult man. I think Charles “may” be there but the only locks I have in top 10 are Robinson, Ali, Louis, Armstrong, Pep, and Duran. The other 4 are just hard. So who’s your top 10?
MJ Johnson the greatest light heavyweight is definitely top ten for me. Ray Robinson, Armstrong, Sam Langford,Ali,Duran,Pep,Louis and Ezzard Charles are locks for me. The others maybe Benny Leonard,Harry greb, Moore
Rajni Kanth ✊🏾
MJ Johnson I'm
Роскошный боксер!!!
A Soaring Predatory Human-Hawk! Moving In Most Gracefully! Inflicting Most Formidable Lethality! I would die to have This Man Coach me Two Hours Twice a Week! God Bless Thy Everlasting Heroic Soul! Thank For Sharing!
Trained, if I'm not mistaken, by the legendary Ray Arcel. Looks like Duran wasn't his first killer.
Not His main trainer, but still influential. His main trainer was Jimmy Brown.
Whos does he ko with the left hook at 0:56?
Bob Satterfield
Charles beats Marciano, if both fight in their primes - in my opinion. The reach and speed would have overcome Marciano's power.
Defiently the '48 Charles would decision Marciano for sure.
@@omegasz1759 yeah, the Charles that fought Marciano in 54 was already showing signs of MND and was slowing down due to age. I reckon he would beat Marciano if it was peak vs peak at there full potential.
Cincinnati ❤
Can someone tell me what fight was it that Charles dropped Walcott in?
To answer my question it’s the 2nd fight but there to see the knockdown you need to find the vid with Al Bernstein
