Top fights you wish we had on film?

How can you tell?

 

Several of these are even on youtube now.

 

Dempsey vs Fulton

 

Aren't we living in amazing times? All this amazing footage is available at our fingertips.

That said, the only fight from this list I could find was Page - Berbick. I'm not saying the others aren't there. But if they are they're buried under vague titles. I couldn't find them doing a search of fighters' names, i.e. "Liston - Folley".

I wish people uploading would make fights easy to find. Not like those Jeff Merritt fights that turned up a while back under some vague title (like "AP Boxing" or something...). Perhaps by hiding fights under vague titles the people uploading them are trying to get around "do not share or post" agreements they made with sellers. Or they're getting around copyright laws.

Maybe someone could start a thread with links to rare fights buried under vague titles on You Tube.

 

Does anyone know if ESPN still has fights that haven't been shown to the public?

 

Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Kid Gavilan I and II

 

Fitz & Ruhlin only boxed once.

 

Quarry vs Mathis

 

Me too. I'd also like to see an English version of Monzon-Valdez I. I know it was on American tv at the time but the only version I see is a really blurry version in spanish

 

Amazing times for sure, and that might even be understating it.

Page - Berbick isn't there in full either. I'm always hoping someone puts up Page - Snipes.

I remember Witherspoon - Tillis, Tillis slipped in some water in the corner and Witherspoon was on him in a flash and that was all, she wrote.

 

Liston vs Folley, supposedy Folley came to fight and went out on his shield.

 

Ill go with
Greb
Prime Robinson
Dempsey befor Willard
Fitz with clear footage
Holeman Williams prime
Burley prime
Also Kronk and Phila gyms sparring sessions

 

Frankel on this site states he has more fights than Cayton & Jacobs had in their Ring Classics collection including Zale v Graziano 2.Then again Frankel also said he has seen 30 middleweight fights of Marcel Cerdan .When Jacobs died Cayton sold the collection to ESPN.
