    Charlie Burley, Kid Cocoa and the rest of them would them would be multi divisional champions today. guess they just fought in the wrong era. From what I've seen of Burley he was the Floyd Mayweather of his day. Too bad he and most other black fighters didn't get the opportunities they deserved.

    He was a slick defensive fighter. Like Mayweather.

    You lost me.
    Please tell which fights of Charlie Burley you have seen. Or just HL/S as no full fights are around as far as I know.
