Charles and Walcott era fades as heavyweights shift
The writer ranks Ezzard Charles amid the era after Tunney and Louis, notes Walcott’s fade, and critiques the Charles Woodcock Savold bout as a weak championship. He argues Charles may be the best heavyweight today but lacks fire against declining rivals, with Louis’s reign still a magnet for promoters.
