    A lot of those listed in this thread exist on film in one form or another. Off the top of my head:

    Taylor-Amaya
    Marciano-Vingo
    Jeffries-Sharkey
    Ortiz-Laguna 2
    Zale-Graziano 2
    Lyle-Ellis
    Lyle-Bonavena
    Charles-Maxim 4
    Charles-Bivins 3 (this is actually quite common, its their fourth fight, which also exists, that is rare)
    Quarry-Machen
    Cerdan-LaMotta
    Chuvalo -Cleroux (all),Jones and Bonavena full fight
    1976 National Golden Gloves semifinals.

    Tom's still mad about it and Mostardini wrote a vanity book with a whole chapter justifying the decision and talking about how much he respected Roughhouse.

    "Mad Dog" is probably the best fighter of the 70's and 80's that there is zero footage of anywhere. Try and find a good photo of him, even.

    One that may very realistically exist:

    Complete Wilfredo Gomez vs. Carlos Mendoza.

    ABC only showed highlights on one of its primetime extravaganzas but surely the cameras were rolling to get the entirety of the bout.

    1. Any Satterfield fight (Especially Henry, Sumerlin, Holman, Carter, LaMotta, Johnson(3rd meeting) and Williams)
    2. Galento vs Nova
    3. Levine vs SRR
    4. Any Curtis Sheppard fight
    5. Briscoe vs Cyclone Hart 1

    Some fights I would have loved to watch:
    Saad Muhammad vs Dynamite Douglas
    Jeff Sims vs Floyd Cummings
    Merqui Sosa vs Steve Little
