Has anybody got this video/magazine collection?

I have and I haven't watched it since I was a kid. What a collection this is. I watched the first one last night and plan to watch them all over the next few weeks. There's some top fights there.

Just wondered what everyone else though of it

I had the full collection on video but I put them on Ebay when the DVD version came out. Great collections, the magazines wern't the most in depth but its all about getting and watching fights really, isn't it?

Yeah looking forward to watching No.2 today. Tyson whole fights against Berbick, Spinks and Bruno. Looking forward to the Spinks one personally.

Didn't know you could get this on DVD. How much you get on ebay for it ?

Never heard of this collection before. Is it worth investing in?

Dan684
06-16-2009, 09:27 AM
Kos, I think I have like 70 videos and a magazine for each video detailing the fighters and fights. IMO its well worth investing in even if only on VHS

Actually, after researching I realised what the collection is. I have the first one (Ali), but I was quite young and only purchased the cheap first issue :yep

Hope they reproduce these.

The DVD version was done by a firm called DeAgnostini, not Marshall Cavendish.

Not sure mate, it would be quite a lot to buy in one go (60+ DVDs times 7 or 8 quid!!) but at the time it was just something like a directt debit for £12 a month for 2 copies, much easier on the wallet!!

About £60 but at the time the DVDs were coming out and I just wanted the space in the house. 60 videos were a pig to store!!

£60isn't bad mate. If I can find space i'm tempted to keep them coz it'll cost more to buy those kind of Fights/DVD's and its a top little collection to have really.

If it is DVD I would be interested without a doubt, yet I have no money right now (laptop repairs etc.) :-(

If no-one buys them off you in the near-future then bump this thread up to remind me :good

Jack Dempsey
06-16-2009, 12:16 PM
Yeah no worries, its a copied version that someone did from the Cavendish videos, its on DVD in a huge box set type thing, I bought it off E-bay then ended up getting the individual magazines and DVDs when they re-released them

IIRC the fights on the DVD verision is slightly different from those on the videos, also the videos were numbered slightly different depending on where you lived in the country. I missed number 5 and had murder getting the right video off Marshall Cavendish because number 5 was something like Frazier in one area and Marciano in another.

About £60 but at the time the DVDs were coming out and I just wanted the space in the house. 60 videos were a pig to store!!

I got all the videos, thought the ring binders were not up to much and have had to put them all in sleeves. I have oftenm wondered at the start is the boxer on the speedball Julius Francis?? :think

Do DeAgostini still do them?, have they just been re-released?? there are some great fights on the collection.. :good

GazOC
06-17-2009, 04:03 PM
I'm pretty sure (nearly positive) its Francis on the speedball. I'm not sure if the DVDs have been re-released or not, I could find anything on the internet....

Dan684
06-17-2009, 04:10 PM
Yeah lads i've heard it was Francis on the ball. I really do rate this collection and i'm gonna look into ebay'ing my videos if I can get the DVD's for a good price.

Dan684
06-17-2009, 04:15 PM
