I posed this in 'Current Scene' as well, sorry for the multi post...

I wanna start an Archive of all the old fights, I wanna get as many fights as possible on DVD... From as early as possible to present, like Dempsey, Langford, Ezzard Charles, Walcott, Armstrong, Hagler, Louis, Liston, Robinson etc

Does anybody know any good sites??? Or the best site to get them from??? Obviously I wanna get as good as quality as possible, not some cheap shit ripped off Youtube to DVD lol

If anyone could point Me in the right direction it would Be much appreciated :TU:

The quality is exactly the same, if not better than the ones being sold. They're the same source.

Think it's invite only atm. There's another called boxing torrents, I think, but that's invite only too.

You would be amazed how many of these sellers are selling exact versions of the fights that available elsewhere. By exact I mean, exact - frame for frame, from the same source. Same with most of the traders.
