    Jack Britton, Harry Greb, and Maxie Rosenbloom had NINE HUNDRED and
    FORTY THREE fights total between them, but they also share an amazing
    oddity in boxing history. What was this curious bond they shared ?

    wow just looked it up... seems they were stopped only four times between them. that's pretty amazing. but obviously not the answer to your riddle.

    FM,you are correct. There are no footage of three of the most active Hall of Fame fighters in a bout. Not ONE. An amazing coincidence for this great trio
    of fighters...:good

    They ain't a trio of the most active HOF'ers. Dundee, Langford and Ted Kid Lewis have more or as many known bouts than Greb or Rosenbloom.

    Burt, does it make any sense to you that there's no footage of these three greats? There's something that "don't add up" about it...these guys each had soooo many fights..it seems like a conspiracy of some kind...i mean, there HAS to be some hidden away treasure trove of filmed fights of these guys somewhere...

    At least we do know that Greb-Tunney I and Greb-Walker were filmed and broadcast live on radio. But did Rosenbloom and Britton ever even compete before a movie camera?
