i think i have watched that burley smith fight more times than any other fight and that is the only charley burley footage you will ever see. i have not read the harry otty book, but i can say that the allen rosenfeld book is a great read.Based on what footage?
one thing i can tell you about guys like burley and andrade is you stay out of their way. when a guy wants to box with his hands down you let him box with his hands down and what you call sloppy he does by feel and he just may know more about his own body than you think you do.
one more thing i can tell you about burley and andrade is they were both called boring and that was used as an excuse to not have to fight them. someone said once history does not repeat but sometimes it rhymes. i dont know if andrade beats all these guys but i know calling him boring is a bad excuse. it was for burley.
by the way i thought two knockdowns, a stoppage, and holding the other guy to 34 landed punches without losing a round is alright for sloppy.
