Sugar Ray Robinson would win by a TKO or a KO I didn't think Ezzard Charles was that good of a boxer in his time

This one is hard to call because Ezzard was at his best at Lgt Heavy and heavy and probably a bit inexperienced at middleweight. Still it would probably be a good matchup based on ring skills. I believe Sugar Ray would win by decision!

don't know much about ezzard, but i gotta go w/the sugarman. he wasn't rated lb4lb #1 for nothing. i am an ali fan of the first order but once i saw some robinson fights on tape, i became a true believer. he is the best ever! would much rather see who would come out on top between ezzard charles, michael spinks, and evander holyfield!

If Ezzard had stayed a middle, and got more experience, he would be a good potential adversary for Robinson. He did beat Charley Burly twice, someone Robinson avoided.

Not really fair, because EC didn't make a big splash until he was a Light heavy. SRR was an all-time great Middleweight. Give me SRR by decision.
