    Basically EC beat a guy many think of as the equal of Robinson in Burley anyway x2 in his wunderkind phase.

    Hi Buddy.
    You make a great point, a better more competitive fight between the two would have been the Charles who fought as middleweight from his first fight in march 40 to around october 42 when he was fighting at 160 or thereabouts, and defeating the likes of :
    Basora, Burley, Christoforidis, Yarosz, and Mamakos, some resume already.
    stay safe J92, chat soon buddy.
    Mike.
