Any Suggestions?
Was hoping some of the big fans on here could help me out. Basically it is my Grandpa's 80th in a few weeks and he is still a huge fan of Boxing, always talking about all of the classic fights etc. I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any dvd's/box sets that have footage of old classics. From looking online, it is hard to get a read on them because some just seem to be just a few mins of highlights not any full fights and get bad reviews. Any help appreciated!

This is a decent one :
http://www.amazon.com/ESPN-Classic-Ringside-Top-Heavyweights/dp/B000R7HY5K
My version is four discs not two, I think that was so they could package it in a bigger box, but it seems to be the same thing. Lots of talk but lots of action too.

Re: Any Suggestions?
I imagine an 80 year old will only be put in an open prison though in fairness to Mackem....
So he'll have enough visitation priviledges.

Re: Any Suggestions?
Just to clarify, and this is not open to discussion, the site could be shut down if we openly allow illegal streams to be published on this site.
It is highly unlikely but its not worth the risk for the sake of taking a few moments to send a PM instead.

Seriously though don't buy you Grandpa any fights for his birthday because you should never go back!!.........I've rewatched fights that were great in my mind from years ago and found they were a disappointment watching them again....
Tell him to use his memory If he still has one and instead look to the future...Instead of being disappointed by watching old Robinson reruns..
Instead buy him sky where he can feast on Fury-Cunningham....Harrison v Wlad etc........

Boxing monthly if it's still going.. usually has fight sellers at the back advert page..
Worth a pop.

I found these two, any thoughts on them? Will need to have a proper look at them all later when I'm not just using my phone. It's a shame that so many are imports and may not be able to play on a U.K DVD player. I'm not buying a new DVD player as well haha

The Heavyweights one is the same one I posted above, but my link was for the US version, sorry!
I can definitely recommend that one.
