A genie grants you 3 wishes on which unfilmed old timers you can watch

Who do you pick, and which specific fights would you want to see from those unfilmed wonders?

 

Obviously Greb
A prime Langford at 168 or so
Jeffreis vs Fitz (1), Corbett (1) or Sharkey (2)

 

Would love to see fight footages of Eddie Booker.

 

Once, when legendary Archie Moore was asked who he thought was the greatest fighter he'd ever seen Archie replied:

"Charley Burley; however, there is another fighter who might have been his equal, Eddie Booker. I’ve had some rough fights in my time, but, all things being equal, when I was in my prime, one of my toughest had to have been against Eddie Booker, a fighting machine, who shot out punches with deft precision. He was one of the great fighters of my time. He had me fighting for dear life. With better luck, he would have been the Middleweight Champ.”

 

Bob "Bobcat" Montgomery especially his 2 fights with Ike Williams (love to see Ike at his peak too)
Lew Jenkins Would love to see his fights with Lou Ambers and Henry Armstrong

 

Greb / Tunney so that we can see him in action and finally measure the enigma with footage.

Prime Jeffries.

"Tyre iron" Johnson.

 

Theaganese of Thasos

Tom Cribb

John L Sullivan


Or if I am wrong in my estimation, what I mean is the three most famous from the three forms boxing has taken as a spectacle.

 

Actually, ancient Greek boxers might be even more interesting to see than the 1920s crowd. We might get an entirely new forum ...

 

Greb, preferably vs. Tunney or Walker
Jack Britton, preferably his KO of Ted Lewis
Barbados Joe Walcott, preferably his KO of Choynski

 

according to the narrator, he weighed 165 for this fight w/ Jim Flynn:

Langford, Clay Turner and John Sullivan.

You're getting the most fights with Langford. Lots of these are 20 rounders too. 2000 rounds of fun.

Clay Turner is the guy from this period who stands out for putting on exciting fights. Hes got an extensive series of classics with Greb, Gibbons, Norfolk and Levinsky. You're not getting much besides that but you get the Norfolk trilogy while still seeing a lot of Greb and Gibbons.

Sullivan only has a few major fights that were a few rounds. On the surface hes a bad choice. I picked him so I could see the interior of the 1880s Madison Square Garden not the fights. Sullivan v Mitchells really the only fight I'd be interested in and thats more because of the chaos.
