Lou Nova vs Tony Galento
Archie Moore vs Ron Richards
Jimmy Bivins vs Christoforidis, Doc Williams
Willie Pep vs Chalky Wright (the first bout to be shown on Friday Night Fights)

I would also like to acquire Ezzard Charles vs Lloyd Marshall II since I don't have it on my computer at the moment.

Some rare ones that I have seen:

Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano II (short clips)
Ray Robinson vs Sammy Angott III
Joe Louis vs Paulino Uzcudun
Sam Langford vs Bill Lang

It takes a bit of an effort to acquire them all the way from Finland...

As far as I know, no one so far has claimed to own Pep vs Wright but it was filmed and broadcasted on TV in the 1940's.

I'd like a dvd quality Holmes vs Norton. I have the fight several times but each broadcast is a touch ropey.

I'd really like to get hold of the really good broadcast of Ali Frazier 1, not the one that everyone already has. The one with decent colour! It is on you tube, but I'd like it on DVD bells and whistles.

Merqui Sosa vs Charles Prince Williiams 1 or 2.

I have only got/seen the HL's to Hagler vs Mugabi.

Jones vs Harding, Harmon. These are two of the few Jones fights i have'nt seen, although i hear neither of those Jones fights was worth watching.

Ive seen Hagler vs Obell 1+ 2, Hearns, Sibson, Hamsho, Watts, Hart, Munroe, Vito 1+2, Warren, Seales, Minter, Roldan, Leonard, Scypian, Hamani.

Ive seen almost all of Duran's fights, most of Holmes, Ali, all Frazier's, all Arguello's, most of Pryor's, quite a few Chacon, all Mancini's, most Qawi, most Saad Muhammad.

Those are the sets i have on DVD from old timers fighter but i have never seen aforementioned you said.

Jones-Harding is fairly interesting because Harding managed to give him some problems.

I uploaded the Charles Williams vs Merqui Sosa fights on youtube if anyone cares to watch:

I advise people to watch the Williams vs Czyz fights as well. Williams was a very different fighter back then.

There's rumors about footage of Jack Johnson vs Sam Langford. That's one I want to see.

Another one is Sugar Ray Robinson vs Henry Armstrong but I don't know if it was recorded or not.

There are rumours but I don't think there's any truth to them.

I do know that additional Sam Langford fights (vs Hague, according to a rumour Jeannette) and Jack Johnson vs Arthur Cravan were filmed but I'm not sure if these films exist any longer.

So if they were filmed what happened?

Any additional Langford fights would be great to watch. It's a shame that his biggest fights weren't filmed.

Dokes-Weaver II

I watched this the other day, not as good of a fight as i was expecting but it was okay, worth watching i guess.

Dokes tired dramatically in the fight, its quite clear that he did not train the way he should of, he came in soft and was hanging onto Weaver after the mid way point due to fatigue.

In your opinion, who won the fight? It was on the same card as Holmes-Witherspoon, and reporters the next day claimed both Weaver and Witherspoon were robbed.

I think i thought Weaver won but i kinda go side tracked towards the end because my kids came in from school and i was trying to watch it but i could not follow it as closely as id like.

When i was watching the early rounds i didn't think the commentators were giving Dokes enough credit for the work he was doing early, but a lot of people seem to think Weaver was infront at that point but i had it about even at that point if i remember, they interviewed Ali halfway through and he said he thought Weaver was winning and i was like :dunno:

You will have to watch it see what you think.
