Ezzard Charles by William Dettloff Pdf

Greatness is often overlooked in its own time. For Ezzard Charles—one of boxing’s most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93–25–1 (52 KO)—recognition took decades. Named by The Ring magazine as the greatest light heavyweight of all time, Charles was frustrated in his attempts to get a shot at the 175–pound title, and as World Heavyweight Champion (1949–1951) struggled to win the respect of boxing fans captivated by Joe Louis’ power and charisma. This first-ever biography of “The Cincinnati Cobra” covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport’s Golden Ages. Charles’ fights with Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano and his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore are detailed.

History of the Heavyweight Championship of the World by Rene Villadsen Pdf

With the proliferation of sanctioning bodies giving rise to multiple titleholders in each weight class it has become increasingly difficult to track the history of the World championships in professional boxing. The purpose of this publication is to give the boxing fan an overview of the history of the heavyweight championship of the World. What you will find here is a brief description of how the championship was passed along from John L. Sullivan to the present champion Wladimir Klitschko. Also included is a list of all deserving holders of the championship, and not least a very comprehensive section with a complete list of all World heavyweight championship fights held under the Queensberry rules, including the ones sanctioned by major organizations like NBA, NYSAC – and later WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO. I hope that this publication will be able to help the casual boxing fan to navigate through professional boxing history.
