    Which fights of the last 5 or so years do you think would realistically make great episodes HBO's 'Legendary Nights' series?

    First one that sprang to mind for me was Cotto - Margarito, a real modern day classic. They'd obviously delve into the 'concreto' sub plot.

    What do you reckon?

    I think Zopliote, like myself, was just naming fights that Legendary Nights could cover, regardless of when they happened.

    They werent but they are close enough, especially considering the high drama involving both of those epic fights.

    I think that creating episodes every 5years will make 'Legendary Nights' to become NOT legendary but 'regular nights'

    you should not do this earlier than 2020-25
