    Like on the popular radio programe the scenario in this thread is you are marooned on a desert island and must choose certain posesions to take with you.

    You can take with you a solar powered DVD player and DVDs of any seven filmed fights. In adition you may bring one boxing related book and one peice of memerobilia.

    So-

    Seven fights

    One book

    One peice of memerobila

    What would you choose.
