Muderer's Row
Who would you say was the best out of the "Black Murderer's Row"?
Re: Muderer's Row
I've also read that Archie Moore was part of murderers row.
Is this true?
Can anyone confirm all of the fighters that were considered murderers row?

Writer Budd Schulberg ('On the Waterfront') christened them "The Black Murderers' Row". Charley Burley, Eddie Booker, Jack Chase, Bert Lytell, Lloyd Marshall and Aaron 'Tiger' Wade terrorised boxings middleweight division in the 1940s and were avoided to such an extent that they had to fight amongst themselves simply to remain active and earn a living.

Re: Muderer's Row
This is how I would rank them:
1. Charley Burley
2. Holman Williams
3. Lloyd Marshal
4. Bert Lytell
5. Eddie Booker
6. Cocoa Kid
7. Jack Chase
8. Aaron Wade
Should Lytell, Booker, and Cocoa be inducted into the IBHOF?
