How good was charley burley

[CarlosG815]

I was under the impression Burley's only fight on film was the Oakland Billy Smith fight. What other footage have you seen of him?

Also, this is a guy who beat top contenders from welterweight to heavyweight. If Robinson thought he would have murdered him he probably would have had such a big problem with the smaller purse.

Yes unlike many mythical fighters of the past such as Harry Greb, with Burley we can actually watch him on film. You can find the entire Smith fight on the internet and I don't see anything special a bout him.

Tiozzo, see my above statement. A simple youtube search will reveal rounds of Burley. Roy Jones would take his head off.

OH I thought you said TONS OF FILM OUT THERE

MY BAD

[IronDanHamza]

Good fighter but I never thought he was anything special.

Ray Robinson would have murdered him.

There is tons of Burley film out there. Go and watch it and try to come up with a reason why guys like Robinson or Lamotta would avoid him like the plague. Those guys were out of his league.

I'm almost positive there isn't.

There's the Oakland Billy Smith fight and I'm that's only highlights I believe.

Without question, I have him at 18 all time.

I'd agree with that.
