so is that satterfield or tommy harrison

This is the real Bob Satterfield.

The Tommy Harrison who fought Floyd Patterson, Ezzard Charles, Bobo Olson and Jimmy Bivins only pretended that he was Satterfield.

Satterfield died of cancer in 1977. Harrison from what I know is still alive.

thats true man, charles is vastly underated, he's a fantastic technical fighter and he was really tough also!

[AKAKArnott]

Absolutely - he beat Archie Moore 3 times at LT HWT when Moore was in his prime and many rate Moore as the best LTHWT of all time.

Charles was a classic boxer. A lot of viewers may get angry at my opinion but I truly feel that Charles would have walked thru Roy Jones, Jr.. Roy had great reflexes but Charles fought in a much tougher era. Plus Charles went over 20 rounds with Marciano.

What a beautiful left hook from Ezzard Charles! Picture perfect shot. Thanks for the upload. It's great film footage like this that keeps the memory of the all-time great fighters alive.

Ezzard Charles is a Top Ten P4P all-time fighter... anybody who says otherwise doesn't know a damned thing

@Robstailey

Charles was 33 and showing signs of wear. He lost the title 3 years before and the Rocky fights were his last hurrah.

He fought at heavyweight because he couldn't get a title shot at 175lbs. Charles had 3 wins over Archie Moore and 5 over Joey Maxim and might well be the greatest light-heavyweight of all time.

[garymiller1121]

Charles is the man if he were fighting today he would be a super star.. A truely legendary fighter.

@vanderpant2116

check out toney's fights v. vassily jirov and iran barkley. he learned a lot from charles and took the art of slipping punches to a whole new level.

@myaangeline

lol not even top 50

@choklab

at the top of his powers? no fucking way. ezzard charles was like 40 when he fought rocky, with some 80 fights under his belt. also he was a light heavy.

[GustavusAdolphus1]

@choklab It proves Marciano beat a very, very good fighter. I wouldn't say he faced the best Ezzard Charles, though.

His bouts with Bivins, Walcott (III & IV), Layne and Harold Johnson suggest a man on the decline.

Truly, Charles at his best weight was better than Marciano at his best weight. It's hard to argue against Marciano as the better Heavyweight, though.
