    What do you guys think about that series? I personally think it's pretty cheesy and dumb, although listening to Rocky talk cracks me up. I think though that the series is highly valuable as it contains many of the longest and clearest versions of classics 50s fights.

    This!

    I've enjoyed the ones I've seen, but the footage quality is generally impeccable. That's the biggest appeal for me.

    I agree! "Impeccable" is just the word for it.

    I wonder how he would have done as a play by play guy? Cheesy it was but I suppose most things were cheesy then

    Yeah, too bad he didn't feature Charles on the Charles one.
