I bought a DVD tonight that I never knew existed... Maybe some of you have... But I... as much as I know boxing was in the dark... I will type what is inscribed on the back of the DVD
WHO WAS THE GREATEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIME
In the late 1960's a miami boxing promoter, who had a successful radio series of fantasy boxing bouts between champs of years past fed statistics into a computer witch predicted a "winner"! Based apon the popularity Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali filmed a 15 round bout.
On January 20th the "fight of the Century" Ali-vs-Marciano was shown ONE TIME in 1500 theaters across the United states and Europe and was shown once in 1970 on "wild world of sports" Since, all prints of the fight have been destroyed, accept for one that was given to the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. THE FIGHT HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE.
Marciano, the only heavyweight Chanmp to ever retire undeafeated, was 45 in 1969. Ali was 27. He was also undefeated. They agreed to settle, once and for all, who was the greatest.
I loved it!! Great documentary on the special features
