    Of training, interviews, handlers, background, just think of a 24/7 but for a classic fight from history.

    Banana Sam-Jack Dempsey sparring session. They can even feature the street fight they had outside Big Sally's Brothel.


    Other than that: Monzon-Benvenuti.

    Hm, Gustav 'Bubi' Scholz - Peter 'de Aap' Müller would have been nice too. Graziano 'Rocky' Rocchigiani - Dariusz 'Tiger' Michaelchwski. Joe Louis - Max Schmeling I + II.

    Leonard - Hearns I (Best fight I've ever seen: skill, drama, momentum shifts, buildup, courage, everything)

    Runnerup - Sanchez - Gomez (there just weren't a lot of personal insights on Sanchez, maybe not enough time. Also, this had the Mexico vs Puerto Rico thing going for it and Gomez was very outspoken and confident going in).

    I'd go for Johnson-Jeffries. Imagine being granted "all access" to Johnson in the heart of that racist maelstrom, his confidence, on the eve of his last great performance...the fear of Jeffries as the night approaches, his preperation, the pressure put upon him by his peers. Be something else.

    Seconded on Johnson-Jeffries

    Also ALi-Liston 1, with Ali winding Liston up at a Casino and Liston chasing him down the street would be great TV
