Name the fighter from the past.
Said to have been dodged by Ray Robinson, this welter/middleweight was feared by the entire division and was forced to take on heavyweights to make a living. Despite beating several future champions, he was never given a shot at the title.
Okay for 1 million.
What was the title of the event at which Evander Holyfield had his professional debut?
Call to something or other. Dam it ! Breland was on the same card.
Charley Burley was said by Ray Arcel to be the greatest he had ever seen. Ray Robinson wanted nothing to do with Burley and in a time when the mob held the strings of boxing, it was impossible for him to get a title shot despite beating guys like Archie Moore, Fritzie Zivic and going the distance with HW champ Ezzard Charles in a blood and guts war.
He was never given an opportunity to fight for any title.
