    And obviously, prime Sullivan, prime Fitz, more prime Johnson/Langford/Dempsey (run to the title).... I would like very much to see these in HD and am searching for such copies at this time.

    Greb - Walker and nothing else comes close. I’d trade my whole collection for just a few rounds of it.

    Greb v Tunney 1 for sure would like to see how Marciano handled Schkor and Vingo w the height advantage.
    And more Max Baer...because he’s Max Baer

    Greb vs Mickey Walker (for one that actually happened)

    The one that I think would make the best viewing would be Frazier vs Holyfield

    RJJ-McClellan in the amateurs would be interesting.

    There actually is film of the second Young-Shavers fight, since Coach Salvador Villa, who was the head trainer at my old gym had some 8mm film of the fight, but unfortunately it wasn’t the whole fight and just the last couple of rounds. I’m willing to bet someone has footage of the whole fight.

    Burley vs Charles. If Charley was so avoided, then how good must Ezzard had been? Was this a war or a tactical fight or a little of both?!
