Ezzard was briliant, but i think he used the how idea different from lets say Walcott, Moore and Burley. I have watch closely only the havywaight fights from him and for me this makes sence. He is staying all the time sideways and jabing. If his oponent wants so badly to punch Ezzard he must go throug the sholder ... which places his head at perfect positioning to be hit. And i like that he uses most as counter the left hook(in the same movements Tonney preferes the right). He is all the time safe! Its sad to see such an athlet don't going all out. The dead of Sam Baroudi must have been a great shock for himBut never the less when some one whant to watch solid deffence and smart boxinf Ezzard is the guy!
Where Charles was smartly outboxing his oponents the oder 3 forced their game on the oponent. They were awlays fainting, sucking and moving.
I want to give some examples of bad understanding of the principles... Klitschko vs. Arreola. When i heared Arreola saying that he has worked on his head movement i have already cholked myself. Watch him running away from the left in ... the straight right!
