    I got some DVD sets as well!

    Roberto Duran (mega set): 24 DVD's.
    Sugar Ray Robinson: 6 DVD's (includes the Basilio fights the thread starter got)

    But TS those are some excellent fights. For everything you'll need to know about the Griffith/Paret fights -- get the Ring of Fire documentary. SUPER cheap on Amazon.

    Merry Christmas!

    An excellent book, I've had it for some time now, heartbreaking.

    A friend of mine has offered to do me an Ali career set for a whole load of money, his DVD stuff is pretty much perfect, as good as it can be...I'm tempted, but January is always hard work after you've shelled out for Christmas.

    I'd be happy with a Duran career set, mind. I haven't seen enough of his fights.:good
