First, set your snaplen to capture the entire packet with "-s 0".

In terms of "showing" the captured contents, it really depends what
protocol you're trying to examine, and what you want to see.  If it's
text based, you can use "-xX" to display captured contents in hex and
ASCII.  Or, if it's a more complicated protocol for which tcpdump has
a decoder, try using "-vvv" to put it in extremely verbose mode.
