    Buffer in particular seemed very somber and reflective. Was he around in Arguello's day? Their careers may have overlapped a bit, but certainly he had a front row seat (literally) for Gatti and Forrest.

    ****ing BULL****!!! HBO can suck my big white ****!!!!!!!! My subscription goes TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

    There was absolutely no reason to show Arguello going down in flames against Pryor. A ****ing cheater with a known criminal in his corner beat a faded and ring worn Arguello. The man fought dozens of GREAT fights. No reason to show that **** and call it "a tribute." I'm done with HBO. They will never get another ****ing dime from me!!!!!!

    Well done, but real depressing.

    An agnostic like me agrees totally with Al Mitchell.

    Great tribute, the bit with Arguello's son talking about his Dad coming to see him in the dressing room was very moving.

    RIP

    A great tribute to 3 great champions. To see the respect and friendship shown between such one time adversaries is awe inspiring . There wetre no dry eyes here I willingly admit
    R.I.P. Champions . may your killers receive fitting punishment whether in this world or the next
