Charley Burley (September 6 1917 – October 16 1992) was an African American boxer who fought as a welterweight and middleweight from 1936 to 1950. Archie Moore the light-heavyweight champion who was defeated by Burley in a 1944 middleweight bout was one of several fighters who called Burley the greatest fighter ever. Burley was the penultimate holder of both the World Colored Welterweight Championship and the World Colored Middleweight Championship the only titles he held.
