    roy never stepped in the ring against someone as good as charles. ezzard charles is considered by many to be the greatest lt hw of all time, and he beat better hw's than john ruiz when he moved up to hw. i loved watching roy jones in the 90's, roy and james toney are the most naturally talented fighters i've seen in my lifetime, but roy isn't going to look as good in a fight against all time great ezzard charles as he does knocking out a policeman or schooling a weight drained james toney.

      Boxing historians have their biases too. There are others who would contend with Goldman that while later boxers are more athletic they aren't as skilled as earlier fighters because they never really learn their trade. They fight no where near as many fights and rarely fight a top opponent more than once or twice as opposed to 5+ for many older fighters. For the older fighters it was simple: Learn your trade to survive. It's a different mentality when you're fighting for your supper. Later fighters (except some Hispanic fighters) fight 40-50 fights getting by mostly on their athleticism. If everyone else is doing it it doesn't hurt you which is why it continues.

          Charles is the stronger of the two. He wins a decision.

            Can you still float like a butterfly?


            And I'd give charles the slight edge... He was strong and could take a punch, with skill to back it up.

                      Foreman was stronger than Ali. He wins a decision.
