Sounds about right. You know, in all the time I've been here, I don't think we've had a single core disagreement on any subject --- sans Jack Johnson's greatness.

Even if you didn't know a fighter, wouldn't you think twice about posting, "Who the hell is X?" when their name's being listed among ring legends?

You could call this a case of Collins Syndrome

Based on your reply, I have to ask this; How old are you? and when did you started watching boxing?

Take a look at his website you should learn something. http://charleyburley.com/

Come on gents let's not be snobby. At least he's asking about Burley and isn't simply dismissing him b/c he doesn't know about him.

Well said.

I recall an article by Lester Bromberg in Ring Magazine (I think it was April 1978??) discussing the greatest black fighters, pound-for-pound, of all-time. I think he had it: 1-Ali, 2-Robinson, 3-Armstrong, 4-Louis, 5-Burley, and then proceeded to explain who Burley was to an audience he assumed had forgotten him.

[Goodnight, Irene]

"Who the hell is Burley?" sounded pretty dismissive to me.
