Zivic is in the cartoon (I assume) because he would not give Charley Burley a title shot after he won it from Armstrong. Zivic and his management were so against fighting Charley that they bought out his contract to avoid a match.
in the cartoon at 1:26 what zivic are they talking about becuase Fritzie Zivic fought charley 3 times and won the first one, charley zivic didn't fight him
@tw69hands2 yep! It's one thing to be ducked by one Supposed Great Champion. but to Ducked by almost the entire Era? WOW! He had to have been a Super Great Fighter.
burley was a genius, especially defensively. james toney, bhop, and mayweather are probably the only contemporary fighters who are almost that unhittable.
@Robstailey Yeah, its a lost art. Most try to learn to attack without learning the basics. If you look closely though, guys like Toney, Bhop and Mayweather will age much better than your average fighter because of this. I think McCallum is another great fighter who was able to benefit from a proper grasp of the basics (criminally underrated and avoided by the Big Four of his time).
Funny how some philodendrons always seem... to discover, or seem eager to add, some "racial" element to any conversation, be it live or virtual. Hilarious as it is sad.
Haha I took one look at your page and realized that you are an idiot. "We are the best fighters". Bahahahaha, sorry bro, niggers dont dominate combat sports anymore, hate to break it to you, but theres more non-black champions in both boxing and MMA than there are black. GTFO out of here you stupid troll. I'm white, you near Cincy, OH? I'd love to box you.
Dude, these guys are great fighters and your vids are great, but Burley's style has nothing to do with "Black"! It's the classic English style used and explained by the great British fighter, Peerless Jim Driscoll, and many others. I'm sure these fighters were avoided, in part because of their colour, but that doesn't mean that their style was a Black American thing. The Klitschkos fight using a variation of the English style right now, but what credit do they get?
The row was the most talented set of fighters of their time and I rate them very highly. Burley and Williams are 2 of the 50 greatest fighters ever with Cocoa Kid, Eddie Booker and Jimmy Bivins right behind him. Marshall was no slouch himself.
Every single fighter in the row would have been a multi division champion today.
Langford was great in his archaic time. Burley would kill Langford. From the scarce film of Sam i see MANY flaws that guys in CB's day would exploit with very bad intentions.
TheChoice is right, back then boxing hadn't really developed and Langford did have holes. I'm not saying that Langford couldn't learn from what was happening in boxing at this time and the new tactics back then, which would of gave him a chance, but if he were to fight Charly as he was back when he was around Charly would win
@Mishifier way to articulate a valid point, man. langford was feared for his toughness and tremendous power more than he was for his skills. you could hit him all day, but he could take it and come back with strong shots. a supremely skilled fighter like burley, who had power in both hands would have taken langford to the shed.
Thanks!

Did you also know that black people are on average less intelligent than both white people and asians?
Ouch, sorry bro. Even if you were the best fighters (which you're not), we still own everrryyything else.

Who said anything about the style being a black American thing?
The video is about a group of fighters who were known as The Black Murderers' Row. Nothing about style or origin of style.

Not to mention that Burley was much better skilled than Langford. Burley would have a field day with Langord's wide open defense. Knock-out!

I'd rate Burley # 2 behind Langford for greatest fighter never to win a world title.
With about 16 weight classes and 4 recognized belts per division, there's no telling how many belts Burley would have collected today.
