    I listened to them back in College...probably 1968-1970 era.

    The interest I think led to the Ali-Marciano "fight" later.

    This is not the best fights ete. Its a release of the Ali Marciano Superbout, 2 disk DVD that came out 2 years ago about.
    You can still order it on line. Worner's son pretty much push to get this relase legel on DVD.

    I am trying to remember who made it to the Finals.

    I think I remember....but maybe shouldn't say and spoil it for others.

    It's funny to think how much stock people put in the calculations of a computer that wouldn't even be able to begin to present this webpage.

    I want to hear the radio broadcast of the fights, particularly for the older fighters. Worner was an older person when he produced the event in 1967, so he knew and probably could describe real old timers on radio.

    Here were the results of the tournament.

    The Dempsey Marciano fight was pretty neat to hear, almost made you belive that Baer would beat Johnson, when you hear how the fight is discuss or the blow by blows. Still its all in good fun.

    Its all fun...I remember them...some very odd results like Dempsey W15 Louis (you would think that fight would be a KO) Marciano W15 Tunney and Jeffries W 15 Ali...funny when I used to talk to Nat Fliecher and some of the old timers, they would make you believe there era was better
