    Boxers you wish there was more footage off.

    Well, who do you people wish was on tape / who would you like to see more of.

    Harry Greb is the most obvious choice but I'm going with Barbados Joe Walcott and Eddie Booker.

    Walcott because I would love to see how he fights so effectively against bigger guys, his performance against Fred Russel sounds particularly impressive where Walcott was out weighed by 115 lbs and Russel was 1' 1/2 feet taller, Walcott gave a beating to Russel for the entire fight and in order to drop him he had to apparently jump 6 inches of the floor to hit him on the chin.
    Either that or the Gans or the 1st Lavigne fight would of been great,
    despite Walcott being weight drained the Lavigne fight sounds like a classic.

    Eddie Booker simply because he was said to have used parrying to a greater effect then Jack Johnson did and had considerable punching power, also Burley has said that Booker would of been his toughest fight, had he fought him, would of been interesting to see his fights against Archie Moore and his last against Holman Williams.

        All the old great heavyweights like jack Johnson, Tunney, and Dempsey. Apparently these guys were the beez knees back in the day and I'm not grasping how great they really were from ****ty black & white videos from youtube.
