just seen footage of what kiwi director peter jackson can do restoring vintage 100 year old ww1 footage it looks amazing colourised and cleaned up the motion slowed down to normal speed

now wouldnt it be AMAZING if some of the classic old fight films were given the treatment, they have the technology and could do it but it would take a huge fight fan with money backing to get it done but hell wouldnt it be great seeing dempsey louis johnson etc etc looking this good it would give such a different view of them especially with the fast motion speed of old films corrected to normal would be fantastic.:beerchug:
That's pretty good, but it's not really approaching the quality of the remastered WWI footage.
I suspect right now the cost of doing full fights would be prohibitive, but also that the parts of the remastering than can be automated will become far more affordable over the next few years so I would imagine it will be done eventually.
yeah hopefully it will get done and yes agree the dempsey clips good but not close to what was done for ww1 footage
Is that what You're looking for?

How old are we talking about? I know some fights that happened in the 80s and 70s have been remastered. Example, the Frazier Ali 3 and Foreman fight is shown in HD by ESPN. I've not seen it done for the Louis, Marciano and Robinson era but if they managed to colourise and remaster them it would be fantastic!!!
