Like on the popular radio programe the scenario in this thread is you are marooned on a desert island and must choose certain posesions to take with you.

You can take with you a solar powered DVD player and DVDs of any seven filmed fights. In adition you may bring one boxing related book and one peice of memerobilia.

So-
