James J Corbett Highlights [HD]

Think your doing a great job rez restoring some of these old clips. Bringing some of the old masters back in to the present day. Can tell your a true boxing fan of the classics at heart.

 

Great work really brings Corbett to life. Big difference in quality.

 

R, just got back from Chicago, catching up on all I missed. Great work as always

 

Still one of the best highlights. You know Corbett reminds of Walcott a little bit with the fancy footwork.

 

Unfortunately the best footage of Corbett is beating up on the hapless Peter Courtney. I wouldn't read a huge amount into that footage but that Corbett was leagues better than the guy he was toying with. His footwork is really striking against Fitz, a lot more impressive than his boxing above the waist, tho even that was probably adjusted to the very unique opponent he had in front of him.

 

Not too much. They are both wearing a lot of clothing. Corbett was tall and very, very fit. His weight seemed deceivingly light in regards to his strength and frame.

 

I have never seen Corbett as the father of modern boxing.

More a Roy Jones type talent, who had a penchant for rewriting history in his favour!

 

Very important work rez does...yes big difference...Corbett actually looks halfway decent...one thing the bareknuckle and early fighters had...many...was footwork..great work again champ
