Thought it could be useful to post some boxing links to things I have found or been sent on You Tube

Starting with

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQeffnR5Y4

A short preview of a Documentary made by Gary Stretch called " The Safest Place on Earth" which will include contributions from Alan Minter, Dave "Boy" Green and Charlie Magri

Worth watching

Any other links guys?

Looks very interesting, will look out for that.

While we are talking Minter, here he is getting his arse handed to him on a plate by Hagler

And here is a decent tribute video of SRL with some great amateur footage ( nope not that sort of amateur footage, sorry guys)

Hagler was sharp as a tack in that fight, very hard to nail with a clean shot, very fast hands too.

He was so much slower than that by the time Leonard got him.

While we are talking Tommy Morrison. He should probably remind himself of what is waiting for him out there.

Perhaps the most brutal beat down ever and the shoddiest performance by an official

I've just posted Monzon/Griffith II and Gomez/Sanchez over on the current scene's youtube thread. Both are well worth a look if you haven't seen them recently or haven't seen them at all.

Think Jersey Joe Walcott's performance in Ali vs Liston II was the worst.

Morrison hurt Mercer in the third he could certainly whack... shame he couldn't take a decent punch.

Here's one I was watching last night

Perhaps one of the best performances by a boxer that I can recall

Chavez Vs Rosario

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct5NqExbEQA

Show it to any kid who denies that boxing was better the in the old days and watch their slack jaws drop as one of the greatest fighters in history totally dominates one of the toughest of his time

Slapsie

One of the best British comeback KO's ever

Benn Vs Logan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6_PTvPPW3Q

Slapsie

And, while we are talking Benn

Let's see how he took apart Iran Barkley

Slapsie

But, to be fair to Barkley, he had his moments

But Hearns, as he showed here, was in a different league altogether

Slapsie

And, since there is a DLH/PBF thread, is a little tribute video to DLH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doSXJCS3B7U

The one thing that I am reminded when watching him is how cold and clinical he can be in the ring

Slapsie

And, as I have just posted about Lewis Vs Ruddock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7NHwKXG9vU

Slapsie

And here FWIW, is the only Lewis Vs Bowe matchup we ever got to see

Please don't try and use this as back up to your argument, amateur boxing results mean little, Henry Tillman beat Tyson in the olympic trials, as did Tyrell Biggs.

Did I? Where?

Merely a link. read into it what you will

Slapsie

Oh I SHALL!

OK

On the matter of Holyfield although I rate him a top 10 heavy of all time

I rate him the finest cruiser ever and unlikely to be bettered

Here is a more rare clip Vs DeLeon

Here is the full links to Chuck Wepners world title challenge to Muhammad Ali starting with their apperance on the Mike Douglas show
(Which is very very funny )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la-KBessx18

Scroll down the right and you get part two and the whole 15 rounds plus Chuck getting hammered off Andre the Giant

The great Mexican Ricardo "Finito" Lopez vs Rocky Lin.

That's a great clip

Here's one from way back when

My welsh granny used to go out with Tommy farr when she was a kid in the valleys. She's long gone now, but this made me think of her

The Mike Douglass Show was pure magic, watched quite a few on tape some time back.

Interestingly, before they went on that Show, Ali asked Wepner behind the scenes to come on the show and call him a person, to hype up the fight. Chuck, who told Ali he had a lot of black friends, said he couldn't possibly do it, so Ali said he was going to tell the interviewer he said it anyway. You can see that Ali thinks about saying it, and then uses the word Negro instead.

You can see a wry smile on Ali's face all the way through the interview, as he pretends to dislike Wepner.

Another one from the days when real match ups were made

Imagine these two cutting a swathe through today's scene
