    Nice, Johnson looks like one hell of a guy to go up against. Nice right hand too.

    Great fighter for a purist like me to watch. So technically-sound and really brought out the beauty of a brutal sport.

    This is really impressive GreatA - Harold Johnson was true pro and so effortless - really looked like he knew what he was doing in there every second (seemed a good guy too) and had a terrific right hand

    You and Rooster4Life are king of the vids in my book - ps does anyone know what did happen to RareBoxing????

    thanks
    and if you're looking for something simple and easy to use, then I suppose windows movie maker would be a good start. not really flashy or anything like that though.

    GreatA,

    I am going to have to change your name to Randy Edelman. You have a knack for picking perfect soundtracks for films.


    Harold Johnson was one of the best technical boxers I have ever seen on film. He is the quintessential "perfect classical boxer". Everything he did, the way he threw punches, the way he slipped punchers, the way he flicked his jab, the way he stood in his stance..it was executed with precision. Harold rates easily in my top 10 175lbers of all time. That masterful one sided shutout he beat on a good Doug Jones was a work of art. One of he most dominating boxing performances in history against good opposition.
