01 - Smokin' Joe Frazier.
The music - Two tunes, both straight out of the top drawer, both belong
The best bit - 4:40 Ali plays to the crowd. Joe does not. Nods and beckons Ali forwards to ring centre, double nods, tries to walk past the referee.

02 - Sonny Liston, A Man
The Music - Perfect
The Best Bit - 3.30-3.50 The devastation Liston felt at the non-reaction of the public to his lifting the title depicted in photographs.

03 - Ken Buchanan
The Music - Please and thank you.
The Best Bit - 1.10. Buchanan gets dragged into close quarters by Watt and dominates anyway, landing two varied combinations in quick succession, dipping into hiding before and after each one

04 - Roberto Duran Highlight
The Music - One part Duran, two parts Leoanrd...
The Best Bit - 8.50-9.00 It's not a question of "when is he going to stop?" it's "who's going to stop him?"

05 - Ricardo Lopez Highlight Tribute
The Music - So right and so wrong.
The Best Bit - 4:08 The execution of Preecha, and also the most perfectly correct combination ever captured on film. The also perfect left hook that misses because Preecha has been seperated form his sense is the best punch never landed ;)

06 - The Suble Skills of Joe Louis
The Music - In them days you were lucky to have music
The Best Bit - 2.55 "Joe cheks, feints, and hooks to the body". One of the most horrible punches i've ever seen

07 - Willie Pep HL
The Music - Gay. Wrong
The Best Bit - 0.00-8.11 Willie Pep highlights

08 - Juan Manuel Marquez Tribute
The Music - ...you'll have your own opinion, but I think it's proper!
The Best Bit - 0.00-0.59 "Jesus. Typical. After all that waiting. I'll hang on to see if he can make it out of the second...third...fourth...holy shit."

09 - Bernard Hopkins Highlight/Tribute Video
The Music - Perfect!
The Best Bit - 1.00-1.22 Hopkins is putting away a hurt opponent, but watch the control of range and the evasive manueveres as Hopkins - yet to peak - remains aware even with the fight all but won.

10 - Rocky Marciano Underated Defence Highlight
The Music - Whilst the video is excellent, the musical selection suggests to me this author probably doesn't have much grasp of heavyweight box-punchers and probably grossly underestimates Sonny Liston. At a guess.
TheBest Bit - 3.30 Countering The Moongoose, no less, in slow motion.
