Sugar Ray Robinson/Henry Armstrong/Willie Pep Fights

[SweetPea]

These are 3 of the greatest fighters ever, and they all fought back at a time when lots of fights weren't on TV, so it's hard to find footage of them, especially full fights.

Let's make this a thread devoted specifically to these 3 great fighters. I think it'd be a good resource to have one thread where you can easily find fights for these 3 guys.

If you stumble across a fight of one of these guys.... post it in here.

If you find a good link that still works in one of the other threads..... post it in here.

I'll start by posting these links, which Gamo originally put in the Classic fights thread. It's a great complete copy of the 6th and final fight between Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta:

Also, one more thing.

Since a lot of the available footage of these guys are highlights-only.... if you happen to find a link that is a complete copy of a fight, please state that it's the full fight.

CC ICB for those links.

Whilst this is a nice idea,the reason I didn't do this in the first place is because there are only so many fights of these guys online,so sooner or later,the thread will become stagnant and will start to slip down the page and not get updated. I shall allow a thread like this this one occasion but only because these were amazing fighters.

And as for full fights,you'll find nearly all of Pep's and Armstrong's fights,barring one or 2,are merely highlights only. We shall see how this goes but in the meantime,I don't want to see any other threads like Manny Pacman thread etc.

I'll see if I can upload Willy Pep's fights, I dl'ed off bittorrent a few years back along with a few Sandy Saddler fights. It's a pain because here in the US they like to cap off your upload speed to a rediculously slow speed.
