    Has anybody got this video/magazine collection?

    I have and I haven't watched it since I was a kid. What a collection this is. I watched the first one last night and plan to watch them all over the next few weeks. There's some top fights there.

    Just wondered what everyone else though of it

    I had the full collection on video but I put them on Ebay when the DVD version came out. Great collections, the magazines wern't the most in depth but its all about getting and watching fights really, isn't it?

    Yeah looking forward to watching No.2 today. Tyson whole fights against Berbick, Spinks and Bruno. Looking forward to the Spinks one personally.

    Didn't know you could get this on DVD. How much you get on ebay for it ?

    Never heard of this collection before. Is it worth investing in?

    Kos, I think I have like 70 videos and a magazine for each video detailing the fighters and fights. IMO its well worth investing in even if only on VHS

    Actually, after researching I realised what the collection is. I have the first one (Ali), but I was quite young and only purchased the cheap first issue :yep

    Hope they reproduce these.

    Got the full set on DVD, and the mags in binders and the free copy of When we were Kings that came with a subscription.

    Never watched any of them yet!

    The DVD version was done by a firm called DeAgnostini, not Marshall Cavendish.

    Not sure mate, it would be quite a lot to buy in one go (60+ DVDs times 7 or 8 quid!!) but at the time it was just something like a directt debit for £12 a month for 2 copies, much easier on the wallet!!

    About £60 but at the time the DVDs were coming out and I just wanted the space in the house. 60 videos were a pig to store!!
