    [QUOTE=therealpugilist;15610307]Charley was one of the most skilled fighters of all time and a look at his ledger shows this.....they say there is no film of him. Its 2015 guys.....do your research


    He was so good, none of the world champions wanted to give him a shot...even the IMMORTAL SUGAR RAY ROBINSON


    Some people say he was ducked, had poor management, etc.....now his talent cant be denied


    Though he was ranked at 147 and 160 for a decade he never got a title shot but did hold wins over world champions...Fritzie Zivic, Archie Moore, and the black murderers row in Holman Williams, Bert Lytell, jack Chase, Holman Williams, Aaron Wade

    His nemesis was Ezzard Charles....who matched his skill but was the much larger man.



    Charley Burley is the only fighter I ever watched that fought similar to Floyd Mayweather...what do you guys think



    merci beaucoup -(thank you much)

      NSB would rather fight about the same 2 fighters than research legends
