    I'm leaning towars Burley. Great reach, and a world class right hand which he was adept at using behind the jab. In addition he is the quicker of the two. He wants t stay firmly on the outside, but I think he would shade this one.

    Very good observation. I agree. Though he stopped many opponents on their stools, he probbaly struggled to achieve the KO more than he should have given his talents.
