    What fights in boxing's history do you wish we had film of the most? In their entirety of course.

    How about ten of them? Order them if you please. I will just list mine.

    Joe Jeannette vs Sam McVey III
    Harry Greb vs Gene Tenney I
    Harry Greb vs Mickey Walker
    Willie Pep vs Sandy Saddler II
    Henry Armstrong vs Lou Ambers I
    Jim Jeffries vs Tom Sharkey I
    Jim Jeffries vs Tom Sharkey II
    Ray Robinson vs Kid Gavilan II
    Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano I
    Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano II

    Out of your picks, is there one fight you'd pick over all the others?

    That's a rough one... I'm stuck between Jeanette/McVey and Jeffries/Sharkey II

    Really, out of any fights in history, those are the ones you want on film? But... Why?

    1. Walker vs Greb
    2. Tie - Greb vs Tunney 2
    3. Tie - Burley vs Moore
    4. Booker vs Moore 3
    5. Greb vs Tunney 1
    6. Apostoli vs Conn 2

    Honestly just any more murderers row fights, mainly Holman/Booker/Cocoa Kid/Lytell and Burleys fights with eachother.

    We have Chacon at his best. Before that, he was hit and miss.

    You seen the Lopez fight? In-credible!
