    If there was one fight out there from the history of the sport that you could get your hands on which one would it be? There are so many fights i like to have for example robinson v la motta 1-5, all burley v williams, burley v moore, greb v tunney, greb v walker, charles v moore, pep v saddler 2etc. But if there was only 1 i could have it would be


    Sugar Ray Robinson v Kid Gavilan 2. It would be amazing to see prime robinson at welter against a guy i rate top 5 all time at the weight, i am led to believe that footage of this fight is still in existance, would make my year if it came out so we could see it.

    What fight would everyone else like to see the most?

    Willie Pep vs Sandy Saddler 2

    My favorite boxer (Pep) in one of his best performances. Does anyone know why this film wasnt filmed or why the footage has been lost

    I always come back to Greb-Tunney 1 if i have to pick just the one, call me boring, but it tops the list AND SHOULD TOP ALL YOURS AS WELL!

    Lots of Langford; Benny Leonard, Greb and Barbadoes Joe Walcott fights :good


    And of course, Welterweight Ray Robinson, which is probably the Holy Grail of Boxing footage.
