    So the last one was on Tyson/ Lewis which was in 2002.

    If you could decide on which fights would get used for a new series which 12 fights/ trilogies would you pick (since 1980 that haven't been used already)? I think they picked fights not just for how great they were but for the events/ historical significance they brought as well.

    Is Duran/Leonard a possibility? Maybe Jones/Toney, wasn't that great of a fight but a very important fight, biggest win probably of Roy Jones and for James Toney, his career went very much into decline for a long time... Hopkins/Trinidad I loved as a fight.

    Barrera/Morales is great.

    A lot of these fights aren't realistic. They need to be special events with a good storyline behind them. And older fights as well. Mosley-Margarito and Marquez-Diaz would never get featured. Not sure why you'd want to even see a legendary nights on these. Special only.

    I can't believe they still haven't done one for Morales/Barrera I.

    Boggles the mind.

    Leonard-Duran I wasn't on HBO. I don't think anyway. CBS it was I'm sure.
