    For those who don't know this is a bunch of 30 minute HBO documentaries on some of the legendary fights that they have shown over the years. It's old now but I find them absolutely fascinating.

    Enjoy :good

    I've got a copy on DVD and, I must say, they are fantastic. I love HBO's documentaries.

    Lewis vs Vitali,

    De la Hoya vs Mosely II

    De La Hoya vs Mayweather


    There are others but they have to be HBO fights.

    Forgot about that one. You could also add Margarito vs Mosely as well because of the "loaded gloves".

    I'd make a series of the Fab Four - just a shame that Marquez and Morales didn't meet.

    DLH vs Mayweather was perhaps the most boring supposed ''super fight'' I've been unfortunate to sit through.....

    Cotto vs Margarito is a good shout, you need fights that had a story behind them - not just fights that turned out quite good like Lewis vs Vitali did. The only real story with that one is afterwards.

    Showtime have been outperforming HBO for a while - it's easy to come up with some from the last 15 years. Holyfield vs Tyson would be a great episode, obviously there's the Marquez/Vazquez trilogy and also Froch vs Ward..... there's the Olympic Gold medallist vs the unconsidered warrior who came good.

    I'm going to quit before I start ranting about Hagler/Leonard :lol:

    theres a great documentary about the vasquez vs marquez trilogy.

    DLH vs Mayweather would be the hype around the night. First 24/7 etc. Mayweather vs Hatton would be more intresting as that fight really had meaning to it. If your gonna do a Mayweather fight it would probs be Gatti.

    Gatti vs Ward was HBO from what I remember.

    Pacquiao vs Marquez 2

    Mosley vs Margorito, Hopkins vs Pavlik, Margorito vs Cotto

    But one of original programmes was about Pryor vs Arguello. Surely the story delveloped, like Lewis/Vitali, mid-fight?
