    Just trying to find some "LEGAL" ways to watch some of the old classics. I seem to have lost a huge amount on a hard drive death.

    Did we have a big collector on here at some point? Any tips?

    Feel free to PM me as well (although put in your email as I don't know if I can reply).

    Didn't even see the other bull**** thread.

    I am not talking anything before 1970, so most of it is just stolen from TV and nobody died trying to get it.

    Greetings MrSmall!:hi:
    I'm not sure I understand your post. You don't want anything prior to 1970? In that case you're missing out on hours upon hours of classic action.
    Stolen from TV? Yeah, some. So what?
    I've personally reached out on boxing sites over the years and traded tapes/DVD's (some VHS, who cares if you get a good picture quality) and have gotten hours upon hours of GREAT bouts!
    If you don't want anything prior to 1970, I don't know how you can call yourself a boxing fan.

    YouTube is your friend. I'm sure you know how to download videos from that site.

    Hello JowCol, the reason I didn't want anything from before 1970 is that I was looking for young Holyfield, Toney and Duran fights specifically. I wasn't dismissing anything.

    Also what I meant was that I saw the other thread with the guy going on at the other guys wanting older rarer fights and I thought it would be a useful footnote to put as to not cause rage from 'collectors'.

    Also, it is ridiculous of you to say noone is a boxing fan unless they watch things from before 1970. If they were born after 1970 and only watched live fights, they aren't a boxing fan? Just footage gets rarer before around 1960 so I thought not to make a fuss about much older stuff. Archie Moore is one of my favourite fighters I shall have you know.

    Hello Sir,
    Do you still trade/sell boxing fights?
    Thank you.
