	Joe Rein Writings
		Burley moved well and circled in the pocket, but his stance almost resembled exactly Max Schmeling's against Joe Louis, with his head appearing to be forward, but all of his weight and body back on his right foot.
		Burley bided his time till he could fire that sniper of a right hand, and rarely followed it with a left.
		Burley did everything he wanted to, and either he'd lost his zest for battle or he was such a consummate pro, he did what he had to do to win and not much more.

	The Apprentice: Archie Moore vs. Charley Burley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In contrast, Charley Burley never got a title shot, and although he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, until recently he remained enigmatic.
		To add to Burley’s plight, he possessed an effective style appealing to the hardcore, but not necessarily the casual fan, and that kept Burley from reaching the heights he was capable of scaling as well.
		Burley reportedly got a call at the factory mentioning that Moore’s scheduled opponent had fallen out, and they were looking for a substitute.

	[No title]
		Burley much like Hagler in the 80's, was too good for his own good, add to this that he was fl in a racist time, it gave the champions of the time a excuse to shut him out of the title picture.
		Burley was a 5'10" boxer- puncher who began his career as a welterweight, but because of the scarcity of willing opponents he took on much bigger men.
		Burley engaged in seven wars with tough Holman Williams and faced other great fl fighters of his era, including Ezzard Charles, Jimmy Bivins and Archie Moore....still a title shot always eluded him.

		Burley was a precision puncher but threw few of them; every one counted.
		Burley bided his time till he could fire that sniper-of-a-right, and rarely followed it with a left.
		Though I'm sure both Robinson and his people were leery of facing Burley, even in the twilight of his career, if I had to hazard a guess as to who would’ve prevailed in their primes, I'd say Robinson, two out of three.

	BOOK REVIEW
		Charley Burley has been called the best boxer who never fought for a world championship.
		In Allen S. Rosenfeld's literary masterpiece on Charley Burley, these issues and many others are brought to light.
		Burley is the main focus of this book but Rosenfeld has included many supporting characters to make this as much a boxing history book as it is a biography of Burley.

		Trainer Eddie Futch said Burley could box and punch and called him the finest all-around fighter he ever saw; Burley was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1983 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992.
		Charley enjoyed the boxing as much as he enjoyed baseball, another sport at which he excelled, (he once received an offer to play for the Homestead Grays), and when he wasn't playing ball or plucking chickens for pennies, (a skill he learned in Bessemer), he could be found at the gym.
		Though never boastful Charley Burley had the utmost confidence in his own ability and when he did lose he made no bones about it he could always tell the truth.

		Fritzie Zivic and Billy Soose lost to Burley when they were on the way up, doing no harm to their own careers but damaging Burley's severely.
		After winning only the first of his three fights with Burley, by an unpopular decision, Zivic made sure there would not be a fourth fight.
		Two years later, when he was welterweight champion, he unloaded Burley for $500, fair market value under the circumstances.

	Charley Burley: Great Fighter No One Knows
		Legendary trainer Eddie Futch declared that Charley Burley the greatest all round fighter he ever witnessed and considering that Futch’s career in boxing span eight decades, that is high compliment. While campaigning as welterweight or middleweight, Burley was denied his shot at glory and today is a forgotten fighter except by hardcore fans.
		Burley eventually left Carney and new promoter Tommy O’ Loughlin attempted to gain Burley a championship bout. After coming to California, Burley beat almost everyone in front of him including heavyweight J.D. Turner as well as Holman Williams.
		Burley wanted great Sugar Ray Robinson but the great Sugar Ray wanted no part of him. Robinson, supposedly watching Burley ringside, told his manager, “I’m too pretty to fight Charley Burley.” Robinson avoided Burley and Burley always believed that he was the better fighter and of course, we would never know if Burley was right.

		While Charley got 1942 off to a flying start beating everyone that was put in front of him, fighters that included the Hogue brothers 'Shorty' and 'Big Boy', the great Holman Williams and the heavyweight J.D. Turner, his promoter sent legitimate offers to the current champions.
		The mystery that is Charley Burley's fighting career has often been explained away as 'not flashy or entertaining enough', 'too many changes in management', (Charley had at least five), or 'too good for his own good'.
		The real reason why Charley never became champion of the world may be simply that he was an honest man and an honest prizefighter.

		Charley was fighting in the ’40s and ’50s, a welterweight, he would fight heavyweights, Charley would knock ’em out.
		Sugar Ray Robinson, Charley tells the story, he ducked him, nobody wanted to fight Charley he was so good.
		The way Charley would dress and put that Stetson hat on and his shoes, this mustache, that’s what a man was, and I was going to be like that, I was gonna get some of them Florsheim shoes, get me a hat, you go out.
