ESPN Classic Ringside: Top 10 Heavyweights
2 Disc Set / Square-off for the ultimate in knock-out action as ESPN Classic Ringside counts down the Top 10 Heavyweights of all time. From Joe Louis and Smokin? Joe Frazier to Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali, they?re all here, as selected by veteran writer and boxing historian Bert Randolph Sugar. Highlighted by over four hours of classic, two-fisted fight footage ? including such epic encounters as the Joe Louis vs. Rocky Marciano "Superfight", the infamous Gene Tunney vs. Jack Dempsey "Long Count," and the legendary Ali vs. Frazier "Thrilla in Manila" ? Top 10 Heavyweights is a no-holds-barred winner by knockout. Customer Review: Another Good Boxing DVD from ESPN
I recently bought this DVD and watched it, and all of the extra features, over a weekend and it does a great job of focusing on the greatest heavyweight boxers in the sport of professional boxing. A lot of time and attention was paid to Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, but that is appropriate given their status in the rank and their numerous career highlights. I will say that I enjoyed the ESPN Ringside Rivalries DVD a little bit more, but this is also a great companion to it. The extra features on the 2nd DVD feature highlights of several historical fights (Frazier vs. Foreman, Foreman vs. Ali, Marciano vs. Walcott, etc.) but no full fights like on the Ringside Rivalries DVD. Still, I highly recommend this to boxers and fight fans everywhere.
Customer Review: this dvd is a knockout!
i checked it out from the library to see what it is like... the fights on this dvd are absolute classics! among them are the 1915 jack johnson vs. jess willard fight, the long count with dempsey vs. tunney, and the first dempsey vs. tunney fight. also jersey joe walcott vs. rocky marciano from 1952. and a lot of others. plus commnetary from boxing analyst burt randolph sugar and larry holmes.
