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.

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.

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 ?

Either one, provided that they cannot be found today in their entirety.

The rematch in San Juan, Puerto Rico in Hiram Bithorn Stadium? I would like to see it.

Do you know where, if anywhere, Louis-Walcott I and II and or Charles-Walcott I, II or IV (I have found III) can be found?

- 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...

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