[McGrain]

New to YouTube I think. You'll have to excuse the horrific commentary:

Great find Mac.:good

Wallace played Joe Louis in some of the scenes in the "Joe Louis Story "movie.

I don't know much about Wallace, but looking at his record I feel bad for him considering that he was thrown in there with Charles and Bivins also before this fight after having done basically nothing in his career.

Anyway, it was a nice showing by Charles that I had never seen before. Have you seen any footage of Charles at Lightheavy McGrain?

Wallace won nearly every round against bivins before getting caught. Wallace was rated # 10 in the world by ring magazine when he fought charles, wallace had scored a couple big Kayos prior and with his size and reputation he was considered formidable.



This shows you charles was far from washed up in 1954

Thanks for the info.:good You know what happened after the fight with Charles that caused such a rapid decline and why he only fought for such a short amount of time?

Thanks Mac, Wallace wasn't as good as some other 50's heavies but he was a decent fighter with wins over Dunlap and Gilliam ,good performance from Charles dropping the bigger man 3 times.

[fists of fury]

Nice video.

Wallace was one of the few guys to beat Marciano. (As an amateur, of course.)

[McGrain]

I Have you seen any footage of Charles at Lightheavy McGrain?

Nope :(

All my Charles stuff is at HW.

[Bummy Davis]

A very calm and collected Charles great lead right and double hook, power jab. This explosive win over the 6"3 Wallace and a stunning 2 rd KO over Bob Satterfield earned EZZ the top spot for a shot a Marciano....Charles is truley underated as a heavy when in top form....he walked down Wallace.....GREAT FIND

[Quickhands21]

Charles is fuckin amazing..

I have the same sentiments.

I've heard that the only fight at LHW that there is film of is against Marshall, and I've never seen it. He looks so impressive at HW, I can only imagine what he was like at his absolute peak as a LHW.

The fight with Marshall is available its there second fight is has no sound unfortunately but is still a great buy Marshall looks good has excellent feints. It is not on the net but I can direct you to a website if you want to buy it or ask Raging Bull he has loads of fights and sells them.

You can pm Raging Bull or visit: [Only registered and activated users can see links] just click on the contact me part top left and e mail the guy what you want he'll reply with the amount his complete list is on the website too. I've ordered from him before he is good on one dvd he gave me 7 Charles fights including his Harold Johnson fight which is great one of his Maxim ones and a rare fight with Bivins. He uses paypal so it legit.

Thanks, I have never seen Ezzard Charles at Light Heavy. I just went by looking at his resume when determining fantasy match-ups.
