The Golden Age of Light Heavyweights

Moore and Charles were not from the golden age of light heavyweights in question. Moore never could beat Charley Burley, who was never big enough to fight as a light heavyweight but did anyway. One of the things that makes the Burley myth stick is that he could definitely handle Moore, as he proved on multiple occasions, despite a size deficiency in that match up.
