I always put Burley down as a Middleweight - never thought about his Welterweight days :-\

Micky Walker was rated higher at Middleweight wasn't he ?? and wheres Whitaker BIG H ?? i think this is classic example of older fighters getting too much credit but :coolclick: for the list.

H he basicly always was a welter, Im told he always weigthed in with weigths in his pockets he was never more than 152. He would give a stone away to get fights. The fight ICB put up he was carrying the guy the first time they Boxed Charley had him over twice and he was a top 10 L/heavy.

Thats interesting story Scrap thanks for sharing :coolclick:

I always wanted to see his fight vs Charles i heard they were very close encounters.

ICB they were very close but Charles was only 19 at the time but with a weight advantage. As Ive said before Charles was also special, very.

Whitaker was better at light wieght but he still was a champion in the welter weight divison for for like 4 years which i think is pretty good he was best at welter though and i seen him fight so i can rate him better
