HANK KAPLAN SOUNDS OFF ON THE KLITSCHKO-PETER FIGHT
By Boxing News September 22nd, 2005
The legendary Hank Kaplan, the world’s foremost boxing historian, likes what he sees in this weekend’s Wladimir Klitschko–Sam Peter matchup. And he’s not afraid to talk about it. Can Wladimir keep his distance for long enough to outlast the young up-and-comer? Is Peter truly ready for the big time, or is he biting off more than he can chew? How far would an impressive win by the Nigerian go toward bringing new excitement and even potential legitimacy to the heavyweight division? Hank explores all this and more, with Boxing Channel’s Charles Jay.

I am interested in learning more about the great middleweight/light heavyweight Charlie Burlie. Have there been any books written about him? Are there any articles about Burlie from old issues of “Ring” magazine that you could recommend? Thank you for your consideration.

I have been trying to reach Hank Kaplan for years. I used to cover boxing for the Chicago Sun-Times, San Antonio Light and for the old Sun-Tattler in South Florida, where Hank lives. If someone can get this message to Hank, I am sure he will remember and will want to call. The number is (954) 536-4117.
Thanks!
