    Very rare indeed. Always be wary of legends built by tall tales from bar rooms and billiard clubs.
    The way my neighbor tells it, his kid is the greatest high school running back in the history of the state.
    I went to a game to see what all the buzz was about.
    I mean his kid was good, but nothing I hadn't seen before

    Some fights involving those guys on the list aren't rare at all. Everyone who collects fights has footage of those boxers (excluding Greb) fighting some people.

    Depends on which fights of theirs you're talking about.

    just names that popped into my head, because I seem to remember Footage of Zale/Graziano 2 is supposed to be Rare...

    Shaaf, Battilino, Chocolate, surely there can't be much on them, and even the others probably only a small handful of fights for each, making anyone of the dozens of their other fights Rare or much rarer indeed.

    what fights do we know exist of those 3?
