We four great fighters who were HOF Champions,had a total of 1,228 official fights between us, and not ONE of our fights survive on film today..Simply AMAZING coincidence...What are our four ring names ?
I think the first three are correct, but there's a number of films of Lewis, actually. The fourth one should be Tiger Flowers.
thanks for correcting me on lewis. flowers has no footage but i don't believe his bouts add up to 1228 with the other 3.
B,of course your correct ! Truly amazing facts that - Harry Greb-299 official bouts Jack Britton-344 bouts Maxie Rosenbloom-299 bouts Battling Levinsky-286 bouts TOTAL 1,228 fights and no surviving film exists of them fighting today...:good
Yes, that we have no footage of any of these fighters is truly amazing. Maybe the reason is that Britton, Rosenbloom and Levinsky simply were too boring to waste film on... and that Greb technically was so bad, that no one wanted to watch him a second time (nah... just kidding, Burt)
And there are no film of Jack Dillon who was a great puncher,who had 245 official bouts. These are difficult to know why B. P.S. Buk, I have my own personal boxing mystery,I have never resolved. :good
They WERE FILM, The Britton Lewis fights were film and Greb and Walker were film, the other 2 were film also. Its just well, the mm film didnt make it today. atsch
Yes, I know you have, Burt - one that has been bothering you for a long time. But if even hh can't help you on that one, there's probably little hope that you'll ever find an answer.
There is a 3 minute film marked Battling Levinsky - Jim Savage, but it is silent, and picture is not good enough identify the boxers for certain. Woller
