Lost fights which you would most like to see:
Another thread got me thinking on this. What fights, no longer available in their entirety, would you most like to see?
Re: Lost fights which you would most like to see:
Robinson vs Gavilán
Lamotta vs Zivic
Greb vs Tunney
Rosenbloom vs Mickey Walker
Would all be a good start.

Would’ve enjoyed seeing
Mickey Walker vs Harry Greb.
There’s many more I’m sure I’ll think of but that came to mind immediately

Joey Maxim v Floyd Patterson.
Early Patterson fight that he lost as a novice pro.
I'm a big fan of Patterson, but I am intrigued to see how this fight played out.

Maxim-Patterson is so easy to find. ESPN classic has shown it a few times.
Re: Lost fights which you would most like to see:
I have never seen more than a six round version of Patterson v Maxim

Re: Lost fights which you would most like to see:
How about Ezzard Charles vs. Jersey Joe Walcott I and II? I don’t believe that we have either one in full. I know that we have the third fight in full. I am unsure if we have the fourth in full.elmersalsa wrote: ↑14 Mar 2026, 10:34 Carlos Ortiz vs Ismael Laguna II

Ortiz-Laguna is also easy to find.

Re: Lost fights which you would most like to see:
are you referring to fights that were either filmed or broadcast on TV or closed-circuit that are known to have existed,
or fights in which now only filmed "high-lights" are known to exist ?
BTW Is there a listing of both here on boxrec ?

- Dempsey vs Johnson in Saskatoon. Of course that was a high roller private Gold Magnate club of the richest folks in the world then held in the dead of Winter where bulky Winter clothing, hats and scarfs would've disguised the fighters in their train rides to that Winter Wonderland...

Re: Lost fights which you would most like to see:
I bought Ortiz-Laguna 2 years ago but can't recall from whom.

If anyone finds the first fight between Vincente Sapdivar and Mitsunori Seki from August of 1966, I would be interested.
