    My man, Im not talking p4p, but at the particular weight they would have to fight at. Does Tarver or even Calzaghe come close to presenting the theat any of the previously mentioned fighters would?

    Marciano beat Ezzard Charles twice. Anybody who knows anything of boxing history will tell you Charles was superior to Hopkins at 175 and p4p. Im not knocking Hopkins, the guy is great. But he's proven nothing to even be considered formidable to the greats that people have been trying to match him against.

    Fantasy match ups are fun, but lets try to at least keep it within the realm of reality. Know what


    Anybody who knows boxing would tell you that you didnt know what you were talking about. Well most people here are just as clueless are you. Ezzard Charles was a natural middleweight who stayed at middleweight for nearly 10 years. Hopkins is a natural middleweight. Ezzard Charles has become so popular over these years to make it seem like Rocky Marciano fought great fighters and even then Chales was naturally 20 pounds lighter than Marciano. Charles probably one the first fight with Marcinao and Charles was on the verge of stopping Marciano in their second fight because of Marcianos busted up nose. Charle was also done as a top level figther going 10 and 14 after he fought Marciano to prove that point.

    Anyway Hopkins is a middleweight and Liston is a heavyweight so Liston wins.

      As I understand it, the last time Charles made the MW limit was the second Burley fight, something like 3 years in.


      Hopkins has no chance against Liston.
