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

[510hustler]

Sure he has losses on his record, but it's impressive that he's never been stopped.

He wasn't Mayweather before Mayweather...I would say George Benton was Mayweather before Mayweather...Their styles exactly alike IMO, very similar.

And, Burley does get mention with the other greats. For so long he was so underrated that now he might be a tad bit overrated...But, easily a top 50 ATG.

There was guys in his era that might have been his equal. Members from the BMR like Holman Williams and to a far lesser extent Eddie Booker is not that far behind IMO. And, they don't get mention like Burley does. Now a lot of that has to do with Eddie Futch proclaiming Burley to be the most complete fighter he ever saw and also because SRR(who many claim as the GOAT) ducked Burley.

Here is another video with an interview from both Eddie Futch and Burley himself:
