The Fighter you wish there was footage of...

Count me in JT. I'd love to see more Robinson footage. The Fusari fight was at welterweight...but that was a very placid Robinson in that fight...Robinson was generally much more aggressive.

 

Apparently it was becoming far harder for him to reach the WW limit around this time of his career, and thus much harder for him to fight at his best, so from what I understand of this fight, he was more or less just coasting.

 

This may seem strange wish, but i wish there were footage of Gunnar Barlund. I'd like to see his fight against Buddy Baer and maybe from other fights he fought in US too.

 

Ingram Wabinsky

 

The absolute holy grail.

The footage that would tell you the most about the history of boxing technique.

Jem Mace

Mace developed all the key features of modern boxing, including combination punching, controling an oponent with the jab, finishing in the modern sense. He developed the point system of scoring, the three minute round, and esentialy inspired the Queensbury rules.

Incidentaly film of an elderly Mace sparring did exist but it was of course lost.

 

I wish there was footage of his fight with Saldivar.
