    One that is very weird is the first Mark Johnson VS Rafael Marquez fight. The bout was on HBO but I can't find that version anywhere the only version around is a German version. Even some collectors I know only have the German version. Very weird specially when the undercard bout between Angel Manfred VS Julio Diaz is available in the HBO version.

    Dont know if it's true but I've heard several ppl saying that the Tiger VS DePaula fight was destroyed in a fire that happened some years ago at ESPN. But like I said don't know if that's really true.

    Me too mate. I love both guys and considering their styles this was most likely a war. Haven't seen it anywhere so far.

    Yeah, another two lost wars.

    Gonzalez vs Borkhorsor, too. I don't know for sure if it was filmed, but given the era and the mass amount of other fights around that time, it probably was.

    Jim Flynn-Jack Dempsey
    Ted Lowry-Marciano I
    Terry Norris-Gilbert Baptiste
    Terry Norris-Jorge Vaca (Norris only managed a SD in this. I'd have expected a KO or a landslide dec. for Norris)
    Jose Luis Garcia-Ken Norton I


    One fight that I was in attendance for that I'd love to see again was Jack Cohen vs. John Pawlowski. Just a 4 rounder between two novices, but a great fight nonetheless. Probably the best I've seen in person.

    This may sound funny for one so obsessed, but no fights. I don't search for any fights. If some very important footage is available news will reach my ears. Meanwhile there is new boxing every weekend that you can see, dozens of fights every weekend. Also, if you spent your entire life watching YouTube videos of boxing, you would not see it all.
