As usual you are talking utter rubbish. For example FightFilmsGuy had this up over two years ago. Stop spouting lies.

Hey schmuck.
Their(fightfilmguys) "version" is from the previously well known Sonny Liston "knockout only" highlights version of Liston vrs Rush from BigFights Inc.
It doesnt even last a full minute on theirs and is also a crappy hard to watch copy.
The version I had linked to from AP Archives is pristine and lasts a full nine minutes!
You never seen the AP Archives pristine six minute version before had you?
So quit misleading boxing fans of the past here.
Its over eight more minutes of Liston vrs Rush then you had ever seen before.
Just admit it!
BTW Thanx for f*cking this thread up too with your idiocy.

Looks like Elmer Rush may have gotten his boxing lessons at the"Freddy G. Sanford Boxing Academy.

BTW The topic headline here was "New Found Footage"
not a newly found fight of Sonny Liston's.
You silly git.

Hey people, lets take a vote.
Who here has previously seen the nine minute and 49 second pristine version of Sonny Liston vrs Elmer Rush?
Before July-30-2015 when AP Archve downloaded it on youtube that is.
(not counting evereb and obviously klompton who no doubt seen it but didnt want to tell anyone about it apparently)

As usual you are assuming that you know what footage people have. I wouldn't know what you had in your collection as much as you do not know what I have. The footage on the associated press has been available a long time - it is only recent that their footage has been put on to Youtube much the same as British Pathe did with their footage. You have discovered absolutely nothing new at all.
You rely on trawling the web to find footage - fair enough but there is no need to claim eureka.
I highlighted a link to the Fight Films Guy footage as you were implying that you discovered this fight.
The version you highlighted is great and was available on a heavyweight collection on dvd that was brought out by Big Fights years ago. Not rare nor new.

( see what I mean?)

How is this new??? Ive had this fight complete for years, along with zech, bailey, and johnson. Its pretty funny how always post these "amazing" "new" discoveries and their only new to you. Sort of like a three year old seeing a cow for the first time and claiming hes discovered a previously unknown species. Lol.

thats why I thought I would post the link to it for their edification and enjoyment
as well as stimulate discussion.

fair play to you, to many egos easily bruised sometimes.

Thanks for posting the link.

I wonder if his managers had ever though of giving Elmer Rush the nickname ""Bum",
as in Elmer "Bum" Rush?
(probably not).

The link is good thanks for that.

Always nice when the unwashed masses get a chance to see some of the less commonly seen stuff.


So for that you get 2.5 attaboys.


However.....there's nothing new here. If you would have kept your blowhard statements centered on the sharing, and not claiming it to be anything all that new to the more vigilant aficionados, you'd have had some claim to rehabilitating your brand.

But you tend to oversell, exaggerate, and fall flat in the attaining of additional cred.

Nevertheless, that link did lead to something rather worthwhile. And they can't take that away from you.
