    I'm not picking particular fights but I'd love to see SRR at welterweight, any Greb fights and Pep before his accident. I'd also love to see more footage of Langford.

    Simply knowing that, it makes me feel better about the situation. It would be awful to think that such great fights are lost in the dust of time.

    It's good to know that they are not gone forever, and there is a hope, however small, that one day they will be available to see.:good

    The story there is that a severe snowstorm prevented the film crew from getting to the Spectrum to record it.

    The poster "scartissue" got me really interested in Flyweight Lorenzo "Halimi" Gutierrez, in particular his bout with Phillipino Erbito Salavarria. I'd love to see if that one's around somewhere.
