    Only seen the Latin Legends and it is worht it just to see Arguello's political speil at the end and Duran's 'Say no to drug's' lesson.

    Also it shows you how tough Beau Jack was, the guy musta been about 70 when it was filmed and he looked like he would have nayone in a straight up.

    Fleaman does an amazing impression of Duran and Arguello from this DVD.

    I got a great boxset that has this, the Latin one and a cracking Marciano documentary, think it wasn't too pricy either

    I've not seen the Latin one but will buy a copy from Amazon today! Never got around to buying it :oops:

    Anyway, the Champions Forever featuring Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton and Holmes is amazing. Don't expect much fight action (though there is a bit) but expect to hear some great fighters (and Norton :yep) discussing some of the most iconic moments of our sport's history.

    Well worth anyone's money :deal

    It's a great DVD for anyone who isn't completely familiar with 70's heavyweight boxing. This was originally a VHS many years ago and the quality is very much VHS. Definitely worth £6 though!

    Also get your hands on The Fabulous Four if you haven't got it yet. It takes you through the major fights involving Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Hagler. These were two of the 1st boxing DVD's I bought many moons ago and I still go back and watch them now and again!
