What a load of rubbish... i have followed boxing for over 40yrs, i have over 20,000+ fights in my collection, i have more than 12,000+ magazines & books yet up to about 3 months ago i had never ever heard of nor had i ever read of this "Black Murders Row" garbage which is now spewed-out repeatedly on boxing forums... i have all the possible footage there is to have on Burley, Williams, Bivins, Chase, Lytell, Marshall & Booker and as boxing fans we can only go by what we watch on film, yet IMO none of those fighters was superior in any way to the champions of the day, i have read how Burley was supposed to have been avoided by Ray Robinson etc etc etc etc yet what i have seen of both fighters Robinson would have slaughtered Charley Burley just like he would have done with the others, i have repeatedly read how Jack Dempsey supposedly avoided Harry Wills, again total bull****e, Dempsey would have knocked out Wills before the ****in bell stopped ringing, all this shoulda, woulda, coulda and avoided by rubbish is everything which is wrong with boxing on these forums... i suggest you go away and start yourself a fight-film collection, make up your own mind and judgement and dont fall into this mythical crap about things which never happened and are not reality.. invest in some Ring Magazines from the 40s & 50s, read for yourself the fight reports instead of reading and picking-up on some article written by some 17yrs old kid on the internet whose only knowledge of the sport is what his Dad told him about watching Mike Tyson when he was a boy.Comment

Go and read it you might actually learn something about boxing history and the BMR.
What you just wrote was all your "opinions", books and facts seem to say otherwise.Last edited by NChristo; 04-06-2010, 10:35 AM.Comment

Also it was Budd Schulberg (R.i.p) who named Charley and the others the "Black Murderers Row", if you have read that many magazines and books on boxing you should know who he was, an amazing boxing novelist, not some 17 year old who writes articles on the internet.Comment

Budd Schulberg called them the "Murderer's Row" of middleweights in his book "Sparring with Hemingway: and other legends of the fight game".
Budd Schulberg's love affair with boxing began when he was twelve, when he saw his first bouts at the Hollywood Legion. Over the years, between novels, he was Sports Illustrated's first boxing editor and covered title fights for Playboy, Esquire, Newsday, and the New York Post. This new book collects the best of Mr. Schulberg's reportage on the Sweet Science, from Benny Leonard to Muhammad Ali to George Foreman. In addition to pieces on the great fights and great fighters of the last seventy-five years, Mr. Schulberg offers reflections on the social history of the fight game; the mystique of the heavyweight championship; the seamy side of the boxing business; and his own sparring match with Ernest Hemingway, when two aficionados of prizefighting had a verbal go at each other. Throughout, Mr. Schulberg is a pleasure to read and a passionate defender of an often maligned sport. "Boxing and civilization-any civilization-stand in delicate balance," he writes. "But if our civilization is indeed declining and if it finally falls, it will not be because Joe Louis clobbered Schmeling or took the measure of Billy Conn. Or because Ali made Bad Sonny Liston quit in his corner. Or because Joe Frazier landed a tremendous, humbling left hook on the controversial jaw of gallant braggadocio Muhammad Ali.”Comment
