Just a documentary I came across the other day which details the two matches between Joe Louis, the best technical heavyweight who ever lived, and Jersey Joe Walcott, perhaps the craftiest. Definitely worth a look, if only for Joe Walcott's bizarre cakewalks, stance switches and side stepping counter right hands. The sequence starting at 0:11 sums up these fights in a moment; Joe Louis stalking Walcott like he has so many other heavyweights but not knowing quite what to do with him, then getting dropped by a huge right hand seemingly out of nowhere.

Ezzard Charles - Sweet Scientist
Was browsing through some old Jersey Joe Walcott matches the other day (more analysis on him to come) and found this excellent little breakdown of some of Ezzard Charles' old school techniques by boxari1980. All credit goes to him / her and I think you'll all learn a little more about analysing fight film and even a couple of new techniques from watching this!
Technique number 2 - Charles' right hand lead - will doubtlessly appear in a future article as I love any way a fighter can land his right hand first to confuse his opponent.
