    Yeah I know...Burley is undersized going against a light heavy. But does the board think that Burley's style gives Pastrano trouble? Or is it the other way around??? I think it's an interesting go...I'll take Burley.

    I agree with ecto55 I think the only time he got dropped was against jose torres with a body punch. He fought great punchers like Archie Moore and beat them and even beat notable heavyweights lik Rex Layne! I dont see burley pulling this one off im afraid!

    Willie had an excellent work rate with his jab, and so did Joey Archer. Neither would be a picnic for Charley. I think I'd take Burley over Archer, because he could hurt Joey, but I believe Pastrano was too tough and too big a talented stylist for Charley too outpoint, and he'd have to take this one on the cards. Willie was more than comfortable dealing with veteran heavyweight contenders. A bridge too far for Burley.
