jake lamotta vs charlie burley... why didnt it happen?

Exactley, in a 15 round lamotta outlasts and stops marshall late. marshall was lucky time ran out. lamotta had 4 HUGE tools...he had a pure concrete chin, he had inhumane strength, and he had the stamina of a horse, and he had the workrate of a windmill. Not to mention his tricky manuevers and underated defense(he was great at slipping jabs)

 

I've read that Marshall said that most of the murders row would have beaten LaMotta. I'll try to find the quote it might been Harry Otty book.

 

sure in 10 round fights most would have beaten him, but only a few of the murders row could have beat lamotta in 15 rounds IMO at his best.


what did the black murders row say about cerdan?

 

I not sure if I would favour the Kid but I would favour Booker, Burley said himself that Eddie would have been his hardest fights I believe Charley even pulled out of two fights against Booker citing injuries and a cold as the reasons.

I've heard the other fighters state that Booker was the most "talented" of them all.

One of my PRIZED boxing possessions are photos from the Marshall vs. Burley bout. Marshall had Burley down, & I have a few images from that sequence.

 

Any chance you could scan them and post them or something?:hey

 

I'll try to post them here eventually. They are similar to the link:

I got them through Antiquities, as they came across a collection of Lloyd Marshall pics that were once owned by Marshall's manager at the time, Tommy Farmer. Even had some images from Marshall vs. Booker too. Certainly rare & unique, as you never know what exists, or is lost.

I believe Farmer eventually took his own life-do not know the specifics, but many of these were surrounded by sketchy characters.

 

Burley wud have beat Lamottas ass..dont know if jake ducked him tho

 

Burley had his share of losses, Zivic,Charles,Jimmy Bivins,Holman Williams,Jimmy Leto,Ezzard Chales,Bert Lytell,Eddie Dolan , not a bad crowd but nothing on his record or in the Ring would show that he would"beat Lamotta's ass"....Jake was a tough guy

 

I know jake was a togh guy..Who stopped Burley? I think Burley is the greater fighter.Ok your right he wouldnt walk threw jake of course..But i thin he'd win comfortably
