    Definitely some of his lower weight fights id love to see.

    The footage ive come across are fights where he is at a major weight disadvantage.

    Vs Joe Gans or Barbados Joe Walcott would be a great start

      the guys of those eras were so damned sloppy and the rules almost nonexistent. besides the fact that people were dirt poor and had to fight to pay off the hotel tab......lets say i question the quality of guys back then.

        It was a very different sport. The more you watch them the more you start to get the tactics and techniques they are using.

        The rules were different and gloves were different and that led to boxing as a whole looking very different

            Are we talking no film or.just bits and pieces? And what about fights we can see parts of through pictures?

              I was thinking just fights that had no video footage at all. But if theres something that only has a couple clips then bring it up for sure

                The first Harry Greb vs Gene tunney fight, now that would have been one for the ages. Tunney got schooled by a master and it taught him a valuable lesson that he never forgot. Made him a better fighter.

                  Something featuring the likes of Sam Langford would be great, just to see how he actually fought and if he was as good as we're told he was. Langford v Johnson, not sure if there is even any photo evidence of that fight.

                    Maybe a great performance from your favourite fighter?

                    Or an apparent brutal war?

                    Or a bit of both?

                    Just one fight.

                    And explain why.
                    Robinson vs Gavilan 1

                    man this would be awesome to see
