    Extraordinary video. It was posted in the training section a couple of months back, but for anyone who missed it, get ready to fall in love all over again...

    Thank you very,very much for this vid. I wish there was more footage on Burley. He was incredible to look at and I would get his career set in a heartbeat. He kinda reminds me of RJJ in a way.

    thanks that was a great watch, best video post i have seen
     
  5. Was Oakland a formidible opponant? I've read people who knew Burley and compare him to RJJ but with a bit more boxing n his style.

    There's some similar vids on Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles, and I believe Marciano. This one is far and away my favorite, though. These are the things the peons in the General Forum don't understand.

    I don't doubt his greatness,if there is any criticism on my part it would be that after making his opponent miss ,he does not often appear make him pay for it.
    But, I am nitpicking,its like saying, The Mona Lisa has the beginnings of a moustache.

    Yes.

    A perennial LHW contender of the era. Not a particularly skilled fighter, but he was tough, gutty, relentless, and had tremendous right hand power.

    The creator of the video asked me for some Tony Canzoneri footage. :good

    I guess he's going to make a video of Canzoneri next.
