It's my Dad's birthday soon and I wanted to get him a boxing video or DVD. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations?
I know it'll be boxer specific for some people as we all have our favourite fighters but that's Ok. That said ideally I'd like a compilation of all time classic bouts or a good one on a Hall Of Famers career...
;D Well Conrad i have the DVD of 100 Best KO and 3 good fight with Tito vs Mayorga , Wilfredo Gomez vs Pinto and Wilfredo Benitez vs Roberto Mano de Piedra Duran....... i realy like it and had Fun .......Maybe ours friend can recomend yu other with more stirly.......;DQuote:

The Faboulous Four is a great DVD.
One of me favorurites boxing videos is a VHS version of the brilliant "BOXING BARMY"which was introduced by GLEN MURPHY from the "LONDONS BURNING"series back in the 90s.It feature all of the greats throughout the video,the lukes of:Rocky Marcinano,Ali,Tyson,Eubank,Benn,Hamed.It's produced by CARLTON and came out in 1996.Even known i've got it on VHS still,i still watch it ever now and again.I've watched it that many time that its starting to a be a bad copy.Im going to have to get it on dvd instead soon,ha.ANYONE OUT THERE GOT IT AS WELL??If not,you dont know what your missing!

When Louis Met Chris Eubank... Classic. :cool:
HA!Thats great to hear mate!HA.I must admit that he's(GLEN MURPHY's)brief boxing skills throughout the video in the GYM are great....in a funny way!His shadow boxing skills are 2nd to none,not to mention his 5 second skip session.Good thrase at the end of the 1hour vid is'nt it?...you know the one!....."Happy boxing days!"Great stuff,ha:lickish:
It really depends how hardcore a fan your dad is. If he's like most dads, a casual fan who only really knows the big name fighters then two dvd's stand out a mile.
Champions Forever featuring Ali, Foreman, Frazier and Holmes imo the greatest boxing doc of all time.
When We Were Kings, documentary on Ali leading up to the Rumble In The jungle.
The only reason not to choose these two would be if your dad already has them as they are the best boxing doc's ever made imo
