    [VIDEO] Charley Burley...Mayweather before Mayweather... Fear & Avoided

    Floyd Mayweather and Pernell Whitaker pay homage... It is quite amazing how similar Floyd fights like this man; never mentioned along with boxing greats because the greats of his time avoided him and ducked him with every chance they got.

    sorry video does not embed; must watch on youtube.

    I agree, out of all the past fighters Burley is the one that reminds me the most of Floyd. He was definitely a genius in the ring.

            He had 12 losses, and it lost throughout his career.

              Excellent post! Hopefully now many fans who haven't seen this clip of his fight will understand why he is so highly regarded. Wish we could have seen him fight Sugar Ray Robinson.

                Keep in mind that this is just one person's opinion on Burley's style. We don't know how much real boxing experience he actually has, so while it sounds nice and scientific it could also just be a bunch of empty intellectualization from a non-expert.

                But at least he took the time to break down his ideas and make the video.

                    Thank God for boxrec or we'd never know about how inconsistent Burley really was.

                    Here's an idea my friend.....do some research by looking up Burley in old newspaper articles, Pittsburgh papers would have the most info. Check out some old Ring magazines from that time period and read "Charley Burley and the black murderers row" by Harry Otty. After that get back to us and Im sure you will have a different view. Peace!
