    Probably any of Joe Louis' demolition jobs. Seeing and hearing the KO shots with proper audio would be incredible.

    For fights not filmed at all. Well, we all know the cliche answers for those ones.

    Wouldn’t mind seeing Dempsey v Willard for that destruction job.
    Marciano v Walcott 1
    Maybe a few SRR fights

    Hart vs Johnson. Just to see how accurate records are. And any fight with the Boston Tar Baby.

    Ali-Liston I would be great especially getting the whole HBO treatment before and after would be epic.

    No WAY there has to be one you’d like close up HD sound of the punches etc.

    This is the new era and I love watching boxing like that, but in part I like watching the ye olde fights because they appear ye olde. I like that. Still, if you push me, I wouldn't mind seeing the full and overpowering beauty of the Fitz bodypunch sinking Corbett. That film is pretty horrible and having it in plush HD would be bearable I suppose!
