    I don't prioritize Marshall-Liston I, produced during the best winning streak of Marshall's career, because Harold Johnson ended Marshall's streak, Johnson-Marshall has been on YouTube, and we can see exactly how the unorthodox Marshall executed his win over Sonny. Superpro Harold had no issue dealing with Marty, but an inexperienced Liston simply wasn't ready for Marshall yet.

    For me, one holy grail would be Jerry Quarry-Buster Mathis. We do have Mathis-Chuvalo immediately prior, but none of the footage has popped up yet of what may have been Jerry's career masterpiece, and Steve Compton has desperately tried to find it. Is there still hope? Frazier-JQ I was apparently missing in its totality for decades before Howard Cosell's complete call and reporting of it finally surfaced.

    I saw that. Disgusting. Either Tex took a dive, and/or he was coked to the gills sharing drugs with good buddy Dokes. I've no doubt the two of them snorted many lines with Cooney.

    Of course Tex takes great pride in all this schitt. But to go from Dokes II (where Cobb was blatantly robbed of the TD thanks to Don King's cooking) to an extremely unconvincing KD at the hands or Eddie Gregg to Collier, all during 1985? Bullschit!

    The ring wasn't Tex's natural confinement. He belonged in a dung padded corral, wearing the jockey strap he wore while shooting flaming arrows off a rooftop at Abilene Christian University.

    I would give up one pinky toe to see Greb-Tunney I.

    I'd also like to see any Dempsey-Willie Meahan bout but I wouldn't give up any appendages for it.

    Greb-Tunney I was supposedly filmed and also broadcast on radio.
