Charley Burley on Sugar Ray Robinson

[AntonTheMeh]

Did Burley ever fight Kid Gavilan? Just wondering how they matched up i think i remember reading they fought?

no he campaigned at middle and light heavy gavilan was a welter for most his career i believe.

Funny people can respect he didnt fight that guy because no money was in it but when Floyd turns down guys for more money people hate.

That is the past, what can we say, we don't know all the details at least i don't. Mayweather is the one calling himself the best, so all i want him to do is prove it.

Floyd makes the same business decisions and anybody in their right mind would take a bigger money fight before they would a smaller money fight just like Robinson used to do but Floyd gets hated on, Im sure Robinson got hated on too. Its not ducking if you take a fight for more money, back in that day it was best to get the getting while the getting was good, seeing the IRS tried to take everything he had once he retired just like they did every great black fighter. They" loved "ya when youre performing for them.

Nah, Burley mostly fought at welterweight and middleweight.
