Karier

Charles lahir di Lawrenceville, Georgia, dan besar di Cincinnati.[2] Charles lulus dari Woodward High School di Cincinnati, Ohio, tempat dia sudah menjadi petinju terkemuka.[3] Dijuluki "The Cincinnati Cobra", Charles melawan banyak petinju ternama di kelas berat-ringan dan kelas berat, dan pada akhirnya memenangkan Kejuaraan Dunia di divisi kelas berat. Kendati dia tidak pernah memenangkan gelar juara kelas berat-ringan, majalah The Ring menganggapnya sebagai petinju kelas berat-ringan terhebat sepanjang masa.[4]

Karier awal dan wajib militer

Charles mengawali karier amatirnya sebagai petinju kelas bulu dan mencatatkan rekor 42–0. Pada tahun 1938 dia memenangkan Diamond Belt Middleweight Championship. Dia melanjutkannya dengan memenangkan turnamen kejuaraan Chicago Golden Gloves pada tahun 1939. Dia juga memenangkanl AAU Middleweight Championship tingkat nasional pada tahun 1939. Dia beralih ke tinju profesional pada tahun 1940, diawali dengan kemenangan KO atas Melody Johnson pada ronde keempat. Charles memenangkan semua dari 17 pertandingan pertamanya sebelum dikalahkan oleh petinju kawakan Ken Overlin. Kemenangan atas calon Hall of Famer, Teddy Yarosz, dan Charley Burley yang sangat dihindari mulai menguatkan posisi Charles sebagai penantang teratas di divisi menengah. Namun, dia menjalani wajib militer di dalam ketentaraan AS selama Perang Dunia II dan tidak bisa melakoni satu pun pertandingan profesional pada tahun 1945.

Juara dunia tinju kelas berat

Dia kembali bertinju di kelas berat-ringan setelah perang berakhir dan banyak memperoleh kemenangan besar atas petinju tenama di divisi berat-ringan, serta para penantang di kelas berat, seperti Archie Moore, Jimmy Bivins, Lloyd Marshall, dan Elmer Ray. Tidak lama setelah menang KO atas Moore pada pertemuan mereka yang ketiga dan terakhir, tragedi pun muncul. Charles melawan seorang petinju muda bernama Sam Baroudi yang berstatus penantang dan membuatnya KO pada ronde kesepuluh. Baroudi meninggal karena luka yang didapatkannya pada pertandingan itu. Charles sangat sedih sehinga dia hampir berhenti bertinju. Charles tidak bisa mendapatkan kesempatan mengikuti pertandingan perebutan gelar juara kelas berat dan kemudian memutuskan naik ke divisi kelas berat. Setelah menang KO atas Joe Baksi dan Johnny Haynes, Charles memenangkan gelar juara kelas berat versi National Boxing Association yang saat itu kosong ketika bertanding melawan Jersey Joe Walcott selama 15 ronde pada tanggal 22 Junia 1949 dan menang poin. Pada tahun berikutnya dia menang poin atas idolanya yang merupakan mantan juara dunia kelas berat, Joe Louis, dan kemudian diakui sebagai Lineal Champion. Dia selanjutnya berhasil mempertahankan gelarnya melawan Walcott, Lee Oma, dan Joey Maxim.

Charles vs. Marciano

Pada tahun 1951 Charles melawan Walcott untuk ketiga kalinya dan kehilangan gelar karena kalah KO pada ronde ketujuh. Charles kalah poin secara kontroversial pada pertemuan mereka yang keempat dan terakhir. Seandainya Charles memenangkan pertandingan ini, dia akan menjadi petinju pertama dalam sejarah yang kembali memperoleh gelar juara dunia kelas berat. Tetap menjadi penantang teratas dengan kemenangan atas Rex Layne,, Tommy Harrison, dan Coley Wallace, Charles menang KO atas Bob Satterfield pada pertandingan eliminator untuk menentukan petinju yang akan menjadi penantang sang juara kelas berat, Rocky Marciano. Dua pertarungan dahsyatnya dengan Marciano hingga kini dianggap sebagai pertandingan hebat di dalam ring. Pada pertandingan pertama yang digelar di Yankee Stadium tanggal 17 Juni 1954, dia dengan gagah berani menghadapi Marciano hingga ronde penghabisan. Namun, dia kalah poin dalam pertandingan kelas berat yang hebat itu. Charles adalah satu-satunya petinju yang bisa bertahan selama 15 ronde saat melawan Marciano. Marciano menang melalui keputusan bulan. Wasit Ruby Goldstein mencatatkan skor 8-5-2 untuk pemenangnya. Juri Artie Aidala mencatatkan skor 9-5-1, sedangkan juri Harold Barnes menuliskan 8-6-1. Meski demikian, sejumlah penggemar dan penulis tinju merasa Charles pantas mendapatkan kemenangan.[5] Pada pertandingan kedua mereka yang digelar bulan pada bulan September rematch, Charles mendaratkan pukulan keras yang benar-benar mematahkan hidung Marciano menjadi dua. Cornerman Marciano tidak bisa menghentikan perndarahan dan wasit hampir menghentikan pertandingan itu hingga Marciano membuat Charles KO pada ronde kedelapan.

Karier selanjutnya

Charles terpaksa terus bertanding karena mengalami masalah keuangan. Dia mendapatkan 13 kekalahan dalam 23 pertandingan terakhirnya (dia mencatatkan rekor 83 kemenangan, 12 kekalahan, dan 1 hasil imbang sebelum masalah keuangan membuatnya memperpanjang kariernya). Dia pensiun dengan rekor of 93-25-1 (52 KO). Dia berhasil membalas 7 kekalahan dalam kariernya.

Personal

Charles sangat dekat dengan Rocky Marciano dan menjadi tetangga serta sahabt Muhammad Ali ketika mereka berdua tinggal 85th Street di Chicago.[6] Charles juga membintnagi satu film: Mau Mau Drums, an independent (and unreleased) jungle-adventure film shot in and around Cincinnati in 1960 by filmmaker Earl Schwieterman.

Death

In 1968, Charles was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease affected Charles' legs and eventually left him completely disabled. A fund raiser was held to assist Charles and many of his former opponents spoke on his behalf. Rocky Marciano in particular called Charles the bravest man he ever fought. The former boxer spent his last days in a nursing home. A chilling 1973 commercial showed Charles in his wheelchair horribly disabled by ALS.[7][butuh rujukan] Charles died on May 28, 1975, in Chicago.

Legacy

 
Commemorative stamp honoring Charles

In 1976, Cincinnati honored Charles by changing the name of Lincoln Park Drive to Ezzard Charles Drive. This was the street of his residence during the height of his career.[8]

In 2002, Charles was ranked No. 13 on The Ring magazine's list of the 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years.

In 2006, Ezzard Charles was named the 11th greatest fighter of all time by the IBRO (International Boxing Research Organisation).[9]

The "Cincinnati Cobra" was a master boxer of extraordinary skill and ability. He had speed, agility, fast hands and excellent footwork. Charles possessed a masterful jab and was a superb combination puncher. He was at his peak as a light-heavyweight. His record is quite impressive. Against top rate opposition like Archie Moore, Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Jimmy Bivins, and Joey Maxim he was an impressive 16-2 combined. Despite being a natural light-heavy he won the heavyweight title and made 9 successful title defenses. Nearly 25% of voters had Charles in the top 10. Half of the voters had him in the top 15. Two thirds of voters had him inside the top 20.

Muhammad Ali said in his own autobiography:

"Ezzard Charles was a truly great fighter and champion. He was the only heavyweight champion, other than a young Sonny Liston, who I think would have really troubled me at my best."[10]

In 2007, ESPN online ranks Ezzard Charles as the 27th greatest boxer of all time, ahead of such notable fighters as Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes and Jake LaMotta.[11]

In 2009, Boxing magazine listed Ezzard Charles as the greatest Light Heavyweight fighter ever, ahead of the likes of Archie Moore, Bob Foster, Michael Spinks and Gene Tunney.[12]

Prominent boxing historian Bert Sugar listed Charles as the seventh greatest Heavyweight of all time.
