Fair enough. Now about Burley being faster? Burley was naturally bigger - talking volume, not height. If Gavilan was his weight he'd comfortably...
What are you basing this on? He was a little naturally bigger, but size aside, I struggled to come to an explanation for why Burley was better....

I guess he was lucky that he got to fight the guys that beat them like Rollo, Sanchez and Caldwell. What was that you said again about mixing up...
So let's assume that Jofre was fighting today, locked down the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts for 4-5 years, then went on to beat the Featherweight...
