    It was filmed and highlights of it are available among the collectors. I have only 3.5 minutes of it, but there is 11 minutes version out there too.

    Just thinking of Walcott again. I'd love to see this 5'0 147lb fighter favoured over Leonard, McCallum, Foster, Tex Cobb and even money with Hagler. He would be very interesting viewing.

    Walcott favored over Cobb? We're talking about the midget welterweight, right ?

    Well lets be honest, he would be a good pick on a myriad of fronts. For example - the Futch comments as well as others, we don't have jack**** on film of him, certainly nothing superb and he fought the absolute very best. One could pick a Moore or Charles match and get double whammy, talk about value for money.

    Just look at Cobb in my avatar! He has an "i'd moider Walcott" look on his face!

    You don't need to convince me, i wouldn't be surprised if he'd just recieved a handwritten note of the actual Walcott statement to be honest! Cobb - "Walcott, i see 5'0 and 147 here, wasn't he a heavyweight who fought Louis and Rocky? Now he'd be tough, but someone 147 and knee height? Get the fukk outta here!"

    This is mine aswell , Harry Greb not being on film is one of the worst facts of boxing. This fight is supposed to be him at his very best, and a horrible beating aswell.
