    Laing was talented as could be, but he was a head case... Barring Hoya showing up flat as a pancake, I have to think he finds a way to simply want it more

    :lol:

    Ezzard Charles was never the CHAMP at 175, therefore he can't be an all-timer at the weight!!! Everybody know that Gus Lesnevich and Freddie Mills were better!!! THEY WERE CHAMPS!!!

    Ezzard Charles was GREAT. All time Great.

    Laing was a mediocre scrub. Of course Duran fans would want to pump him up.... :lol:

    Not especially, his talent was well renowned before the Duran fight, hence the nickname. Just a very troubled guy as his his current career warming park benches while drinking himself to death attests to.

    I suppose Emanual Augustus would be a sort of modern comparison and if Floyd had met a guy like that at 154 going through a serious decline & mental slump losing a SD over 10 rounds is hardly out the question, whether you'll allow your mind to imagine that far or not.

    Charles ducked white fighters whenever he could. After what happened with Marciano it's clear to understand why.

    Is Laing still alive or what? I've heard nothing about him since he fell out of his first storey window in Hackney
