    Sugar Ray Robinson beat an old past it Henry Armstrong and there's no footage. Crazy to me.

    Footage of both of these guys vs other opponents in and around that time period, but not vs each other.

    Not really too crazy IMO because a lot of boxing footage from then is missing just a sign of the times.

    Tunney vs Greb fought like 4 times? And they’re the front of the pack for pure boxing.

    Off topic but Is it that these fights were never filmed or that the film is lost

    Armstrong isn't someone i personally would say was the second best fighter ever. That's your opinion.

    I have seen Terror's copy that seems to be transferred from VHS and is interrupted by some Japanese cartoon filth a few times and once with 12 seconds of SVU where Stabler is absolutely losing his ish. I told him to throw it away. No one wants to put up with that.

    It’s crazy to think that the crowd in attendance had no idea what they were witnessing at the time. A clash of two Gods

    You forgot Maske. Schulz Vs Maske would've been the GOAT fight.

    During my fighting days, me and a GG opponent did re-enactment of a Maske-Ottke sparring session we once witnessed. Our coach filmed it. I will search for it.

    I thought this was a thread about Hector Camacho vs Vinny Paz and was wondering what happened to the film.

    Maybe crazier is that any1 in the audience for any of the Charles-Moore fights was lucky enough to be witnessing arguably the 2 greatest LHWs collide & didn't realize it.
