hi mate I recently turned my spare room into a boxing memorabilia room
Got signed framed posters of Gatti Ward 1 (both signed)
Joe Frazier fighting Ali (signed by frazier)
Jake la motta and Sugar Ray (signed by raging bull)

And a signed glove I won in a comp with Barry Mcgiuigan and Gary "rocketman" locket.

oh and few brutal wars on dvd for fight nights to keep the chaps entertained while we wait patiently for the main events / gaps in the undercard. (Hearns hagler / Benn Gman / Gatti Ward, Golota Bowe to name just a few)

Theres only so much of the sky pundits I can listen to. :D

i keep my old copies of boxing news as well.

I got a ton of stuff from Ebay,loads of 60's & 70's Boxing News', Late 80's & early 90's KO magazines & 80's & 90's Boxing Monthly's so it's mostly magazines for me, though i won signed Lennox Lewis gloves about 10 years ago (just before he beat Tucker)I have a few pictures of me with Muhammad Ali, Ken Buchanan & Jim Watt (treasured items :D )

The Joe Louis head I had acquired is much more in detail then that although for like 8 bucks you cant beat that really....


The Rocky Marciano bobblehead is rare and out of print, if anyone is a rocky fan id pick it up as to many are not floating around anymore.

I collect fights from the early 1900's to the present. I have loads now ranging from Jack Johnson to Amir Kahn. I collect books too, i have quite a few boxing autobiographies. The last one i bought was the Chris Eubank one. I also collect magazines too, i always buy Boxing News, KO, The Ring and Boxing Monthly without fail. I've got too many now though but i like it. I would like to collect autographs, the only one i have is Prince Naseems and i'm so proud of it, i got it just before the Barrera fight. :cool:

Id love to be able to collect a lot more, but my room is completely filled up and I am trying to clear things out now as it is...


With the internet and a mega huge hard drive their is a lot less space taken up from the videos and dvds I use to have.


One of my prized collectibles is the entire set to the round 1 kayo boxing series boxing cards along with a "fight of the ages" hologram card of foreman vs holyfield, I love that card.

Plus the list of fighters in that series is stupendous.

:D Yeah my hardrive is full of fights too, i have been filling in alot of gaps by downloading fights. I'm going to put them on to DVD then, thats what i'm going to do with all my videos, it will take awhile but it will be worth it. Besides each time a video gets played the quality decreases over time, DVD quality stays the same forever. I haven't seen those cards before, i bet you must be really proud of them. Things like that could be worth quite abit in years to come. My old fights of Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson are some of my proud collectales.

Surprisingly enough I cant find one price guide that will list these cards and no sellers even saw them and, wouldnt know what to quote on them....I mean a middleweight james toney card has to be worth something, same goes for a featherweight arturo gatti card you know????

Vhs loses quality when it isnt played, the video degrades overtime by just sitting their.....I plan on putting a lot of fights on dvds as well....I want to make menus for them but it seems like a hassle maybe a cover yes but menus would be cool but since it is only the fight it doesnt really matter....

I've got these vhs tapes

Muhammad Ali the greatest
Sugar Ray Leonard sports champions
Ali-norton trilogy
Champions forever
Super fight hagler vs leonard
Rumble in the jungle
thrilla in manilla
I shook up the world clay vs liston
The greatest dvd


I've been thinking of converting them to dvd for sometime now....


I got all of those tapes for a buck at a flea market :eek:

Im always looking for little stuff like that...I ran across a vhs box set at big lots (cheap-O store) that had legends from boxing/football/basketbal/baseball and it is like a 3 hour video of just boxing with over 30-45 boxers, good stuff.....
