    Sullivan-Kilrain--Both to see Sullivan and to see a London Prize Ring Rules fight.

    Archie Moore vs Ezzard Charles III in dvd quality please.

    Is this one filmed by the way? I have never seen it (nor any of their other fights).

    None of them were filmed to my knowledge.

    Why pick III Chris? Why not II? II is the contreversial decision, right?

    I'm under impression that Jaclem at boxrec forum once said that he watched one of Charles-Moore fights on film, although it was long time ago. My memory could be wrong though.

    Because Moore was closer to his peak in their third fight than in the others, and because i've read it to be an exciting fight with a great finish with some similarity to say, Castillo vs Corrales.

    Joe Walcott vs Joe Gans or any of the Charles vs Moore fights probably the third.

    Greb for sure. Greb - Walker or Tunney.

    Welterweight Walcott would be interesting. One of Burley's best matches. SRR at welter vs Gavilan.

    I'm pretty sure I heard a rumour somewhere that SRR-Gavilan was filmed. Rumour has it thats it belongs to the one and only Fidel Castro. Don't know, but seeing how Gavilan was Cuban it doesn't seem so ridiculous

    Me too.

    Got to say though, as far as this fight goes, if there wasn't footage of it in exsistance, they'd have to make a story up.

    Fidel Castro is getting pretty old, and IMO Cuba will fall apart (more so) once he's gone. Hopefully then it will surface

    Greb by a mile.

    His resume is arguably the best ever, and yet there is no where near enough footage to give him any justice head to head.
