    Thanks for the long reply.

    -Archie Moore on Charley Burley.

    Such a pity not more footage is available. I read he fought the odd heavyweight as well - and beat them. Pretty remarkable.

    Not at all, thanks for asking, i'll gab about Burley all day.

    He did indeed fight - and stop - a couple of heayweights. There's a story, confirmed, about him dropping Elmar Ray in sparring, and another, very much unconfirmed, that he did the same to Walcott.

    Archie Moore versus Ike Williams? I hate to say it, but Williams would be butchered. A closer fight between favourites of mine would be Ike Williams against Jose Napoles at 140lbs.

    Holmes vs Charles. I honestly see Ez giving him more trouble than expected but still losing a decision.

    James Toney UD 12 Roberto Duran in the best 12 round fight of all time.

    Charles' body punching, power, speed and movement would make Marvin Johnson wish he was back fighting Eddie MM.

    One of the more enjoyable EMM fights I've seen.
