    so we all know they have alot of rare fights that they have not released and i know alot of you guys are into trading big time and know alot of people. I am trying to help out a freind track down some Wilde footage and he has tried everywhere but here.

    Can anyone help

    I have some of Wilde's Ko clips. ESPN Classic fights might as well call themselves the Lead Cased Vault. They have some rare stuff, but refuse to show it out of fear that their prized fight films will lose value.

    I once emailed them and suggested that rare stuff like Langford vs Jeanette could be shown in the boxing hall of fame or museums, or in private theaters.
