    Thanks for the long reply.

    "He's more slippery than a greased pig."
    "He can bang like a fool."
    -Archie Moore on Charley Burley.

    Such a pity not more footage is available. I read he fought the odd heavyweight as well - and beat them. Pretty remarkable.

    Not at all, thanks for asking, i'll gab about Burley all day.

    He did indeed fight - and stop - a couple of heayweights. There's a story, confirmed, about him dropping Elmar Ray in sparring, and another, very much unconfirmed, that he did the same to Walcott.

    Archie Moore versus Ike Williams? I hate to say it, but Williams would be butchered. A closer fight between favourites of mine would be Ike Williams against Jose Napoles at 140lbs.

    Holmes vs Charles. I honestly see Ez giving him more trouble than expected but still losing a decision.

    Charles' body punching, power, speed and movement would make Marvin Johnson wish he was back fighting Eddie MM.

    One of the more enjoyable EMM fights I've seen.
