    They are all freely available to you if you have a bit of cash.

    How about some impossible ones with old timers?

    Benny Leonard
    Joe Gans
    Nicolino Locche
    Willie Pep

    As for the 5th, I'm split between Jack Britton and Charley Burley....

    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Harry Greb
    Benny Leonard
    Sam Langford

    Went for guys with largely unavailable primes, careers with huge resumes(so i can look at the era), and high standing in p4p rankings.

    I have some of Robinson's & Pep's fights as I'm a fan of both but to see Pep-Saddler 2 and all of Robbie's prime would be great. I don't have any of Armstrong's fights but I would've loved to see his first fight with Ambers.

    Definitely hard to limit it to just 5 isn't it.....

    If I could do my next five it would probably be the following:

    Billy Graham
    Abe Attell
    Young Griffo
    Tommy Loughran (nice pick Nick)
    Bob Montgomery


    Bit surprised no one has mentioned Ezzard Charles or Archie Moore yet...
