How quickly they forget.
some stuff has been removed since from youtube but can't remember what it was.
But still the "Ultimate thread".

[Onamastus]

What purpose do these threads serve? Are they for people who can't type "Oscar Bonavena" into Youtube and click the search button?

Yes, I have a desk top electronic brain that I use to watch a lot of different things on the Youtube. What I like and appreciate about the contributions of Caractacus is the compilations all in one spot. For example, I was a huge fan of Carmen Basilio and Willie Pep (saw both fight in person). I have looked up Basilio and Pep on the Youtube and watched everything that I could find. Caractacus posted interviews of Basilio that I never saw or knew existed.
Not only does Caractacus provide boxing materials he also provides lots of movie and TV related contributions in the off topic forum which are also very interesting. As my mobility has become more limited watching these compilations (and reading the late gentleman's work from Classic West Coast Boxing) is a big part of my day and I actually look forward to it.

Theres a real cool feature on youtube. You can type “Oscar Bonavena” in the search bar and it will do exactly what you just described above.
