Charley Burley vs Dick Tiger

[scorpio83]

Who would win in their prime between Charley Burley and Dick Tiger at Middleweight? In my opinion, Charley Burley would out-box and out-counter Tiger with quicker jabs and combinations to win a 15 round decision. What is your opinion?

[Kalan]

Burley fought a lot more fights and lost a lot fewer.

Since Burley out-slicked guys like Archie Moore and Holman Williams -- and Tiger lost to finesse fighters like Emile Griffith and Joey Archer -- and got ripped out by Bob Foster, which was not a surprise to anyone -- I think just about anybody is going to go with Charley Burley in this matchup.

for once i agree with kalan. tiger a great fighter and I'm sure greater than burley bt burley would be too slick/smart for him

I love Tiger but Burley was all wrong stylistically for him. Burley would box rings around him.
