    Based on the show on HBO. From January 2000 to this present day, which FIVE fights would you pick for there to be a Legenday Night show on. gatti v Ward is obviously omitted, and it can have been on any TV station, not exclusively HBO....

    JMM - Pac 4
    Vitali - Lennox
    Barrera - Morales triolgy

    I'd have to think of the others, those are the ones that popped straight into my head

    Maybe Corrales - Castillo, Mayweather - Hatton, Pac - De La Hoya, Hopkins - Pascal (oldest champ fight), Barrera - Hamed, Cotto - Margarito fights...

    Maybe these aren't all the best fights per say, but they have a good story behind them and/or were huge fights.

    Disagree. Great fight but had no historic significance.

    Wlad vs Haye, purely because of all the hype prior to the fight.

    No, that was an awful fight, hype or no hype, and didn't have much relevance in the greater scheme of things.
