Futch yeh forgot about him he was a huge Burley fan also didnt he work Willaims corner afew times?

Don't know actually. Don't know too much of this period, but I find these discussions very interesting. There were some fantastic fighters around then, no doubt.

Burley is like 2 sharp Johnson without the low hands, mixed with a Chris Eubank right hand. Nar i don't know, it's too hard to say specifically, but from my gatherings he's a proper mid ring boxer, someone who plays the hit and not be hit game with hard shots and more usage of angles and generalship rather than out and out lateral movement.

Cocoa Kid would be the more fighting type, with a high workrate anyone?

Holman Williams is the defnesive minded counterpunching type for my money, i haven't read too much of his style though. Apparently it's more defense than offense, is it supposedly he has a mindset of a Zapata? Even if the style wasn't the same. Just curious on that one.
