Living in Cincinnati, I have become fond of Ezzard Charles - The Cincinnati Cobra. Picked up a few press photos and some full front pages of the sports section of national news papers. It is interesting that you hear little of Charles, even though he was one of the greatest fighters of all time. He came very close to being the only fighter to score a victory against Rocky Marciano. He defeated Joe Louis, Charley Burley, Jersey Joe Walcott, Archie Moore and Joey Maxim. Was wondering what collectors have of The Cincinnati Cobra. He was named the 11th The Greatest Heavyweight of All-Time (2 above Walcott, and 3 above Tyson) - http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Di...rs_of_All-Time
