@k94845 Charley Burley was a myth who Roy Jones would have slaughtered. There is footage available of Burley and he certainly was nothing special. one of Burley's reletives wrote a book on the guy and this mythical image of him has grown ever since. Robinson would have completely destroyed both Burley and Jones
Amazing fighter, my all time greatest fighter, i went to LA and paid my respects recently at his grave, he is berried there with Millie Robinson his 2nd wife. The only fighter who comes close skill wise and KO power is Roy Jones JR...the old Roy Jones JR
@gangst1978 Never say Roy Jones Jr and Sugar Ray Robinson in the same breath. Never. There is simply no comparison at all. Somebody also said that Charley Burley reminded him of Roy Jones Jr. What is wrong with you people. Jones couldnt carry these guy's spit bucket, much less wear their jock strap. Let us not insult Sugar Ray or Charley Burley for that matter. Thatd be like saying Kelly Pavlik reminds us of Jake LaMotta. There's no comparison.
He was the best fighter Belgium ever had (actualy the only one of any meaning). In this fight he doesn't come out that well, styles make a fight and he hadn't a chance against Robbinson.
When the guy is falling down in the ropes the first time, Robinson try to help him! What a move, the sign of a great champion, maximum respect for Mr Robinson!
yea, he was such a great person outside the ring, he was known and loved by mostly everybody, the only person that never liked robinson was carmen basilio, he said it on a interview, the only boxer that was like a brother to robinson was jake lamotta, rip robinson, greatest p4p of all times
thanks for posting

All the experts reckon he was better when he was world champion at welterweight...now thats a frightening thought.
