    Let's say you're on a plane, train, or whatever form of transportation, and you can only bring along 4 hours worth of boxing footage to watch... What classic fights would you bring? (Can be cut down, no time between rounds, no commentary before/after fights)

    If it was tomorrow I’d redo Pacquiao-Marquez. Imagine some poor woman trapped next to me on a four hour flight explaining why why close combat can still be a robbery if it represents a pattern of behaviour?

    Hi Buddy.
    Good choices, I have a fondness for both Tiger and Cerdan, that I can't quite quantify, as to the 4 hours, would choose late 60s early 70s involving Napoles and Olivares, and if they run short, top the time up with Briscoe/ Danny Lopez.
    stay safe newurban99, chat soon.
    Mike.

    Hi Mike. I've got a yen to watch Lew Jenkins in action. They say he was as hard a puncher as he was a drinker. Sadly, I can't find any video on the Sweetwater Swatter.

    I had all these on the same three hour VHS at one point.

    Plus Pryor-Arguello 1.

    That’s my four hours of boxing perfection.
