Rating:  - Not quite up to scratch, but worth the price.
Because it's hard to find anything on the older fighters, this DVD does fill a kind of boxing black hole; among the fighters on this compilation are ones that you rarely get to see at all.
For instance, you get the Will of the Wisp against rough-housing Sandy Saddler; it was the first time I'd ever seen Pep fight, and he's simply mesmerizing (watch him and you'll see where Orlando Canizales picked up his style). Jersey Joe Walcott's on this DVD too - he does the herky-jerky, slips and slides ... Read More
Rating:  - ONE OF A KIND
I did not realize such DVD's existed and found it by accident. It provides footage of fighters not seen in fifty years or more. DVD actually has footage of a Jim Corbett fight from early 1900s. It is not the best quality but neither was Corbett, who was at the end of his career. However, it provided a view of Corbett's boxing style and why it was so successful at the turn of the century.
There are several Joe Louis matches which allows viewer to see strengths and weaknesses in his boxing ... Read More
Rating: - The Roar of the Crowd
Emma and I sat on the couch watching the DVD of the 45 Fantastic Fights of the Century. She bought it for me for Christmas, thinking that I would be pleased.

Yet, Emma was young and believed in love and fairytales (which she would never admit), and had for years found an odd-fascination with my first husband, Rocco, a man that died before she was born, before I met her father, and before I decided that I hated sports of any ...

Rating: - GOOD OVERALL DVD
I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE ME AND MY 7 YEAR OLD SON LOVE BOXING. I WANTED HIM TO SEE SOME OLD FIGHTS AND I ALSO WANTED TO SEE SOME THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN. THIS DVD WAS ALL THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MORE. WE LOVED IT AND GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP AND FIVE STARS.
Rating: - Complete History?
I've searched, and so far, I have not come across a boxing (mainly Heavyweight) DVD, with more footage from the early years 1900-1950,
than this one. The only one that comes close is the DVD "The Kings of the Ring".
I realize, the earlier you go back, the footage will be horrible, limited camera views, but, its part of Boxing history, so, show it.
In VHS, you can probably find a few good ones with older fights,
if you look long enough.
The footage is fair ... Read More
