    There were many awesome bouts in boxing history, for which no film footages exist or just snippets.

    If you could choose one, which one you would prefer to watch as a full fight on video in good quality?

    That's extremely hard, but Tiger vs. DePaula.

    I would like to see footage of heavyweight contender Elmer Ray. I’ve never found any film of him, but his record suggests he was a vicious puncher.

    What would it be? A fight with Charles, or with Walcott?

    If it is too hard, you can of course list more.

    too many of course,

    but for the purpose and completion of my research, McAvoy verses Babe Risko, Al McCoy and John Henry Lewis and his rival Bert Gilroy vs, Ginger Sadd, Freddie Mills, Bruce Woodcock, Ken Shaw, Vince Hawkins, Marcel Cerdan and Don Cockell.

    Lloyd Marshall too, in many a bout!

    Williams vs. Lee
    Williams vs. Mashburn
    Ortega vs. Paret II
    Briscoe vs. Gutierrez
    Canzoneri vs. Chocolate II

    I could go on and on and on and on.
