HBO's Legendary Nights...what fights would you like to see featured?

Williams-Martinez

 

I thought Hopkins-Trinidad was as compelling a one-sided fight as you could ever see. "Boring" certainly wouldn't be the word I'd use to describe Sanchez-Gomez either.

MAB-Morales was the first that came to mind. Two genuinely great fighters, who at the least, dislike each other, meeting in a classic fight that actually managed to exceed expectations.

Pac-JMM I & II would be another obvious choice.

Morales-Pac, Tito-Vargas and Cotto-Margarito would be ideal too.

 

The build up to Hopkins-Tito was interesting; the middleweight tournament, Tito blasting Joppy, Bernard throwing down the Puerto Rican flag then running for his life in PR, the fight getting delayed because of 9/11...I'd watch

 

I mean boring in the sense that how could it be legendary if one fighter dominated. The point of legendary nights wasn't only the great lead up to a fight between to great fighters but also the highly COMPETITIVE fight, those two don't fit the full criteria.

 

Mayweather Hatton could be a candidate. There was tons of hype, bad mouthing, lots of people attracted to the fight and a pretty decent fight.

 

Both Bowe-Golota fights were featured in the original Legendary Nights - and they weren't competative by any stretch of the imagination.

With the build-up to Tito-Hopkins and the amazing run Tito was on, I think it would be perfectly justifiable to feature it.

 

Bowe vs. Golata with the riot.

 

Helluva fight, that's for sure.

 

Hopkins vs Trinidad would be interesting.

 

I'm pretty sure they've done that one. :huh

 

This is the perfect fight to bring this show back to life

 

hopkins vs trinidad
hopkins vs roy jones 2
mayweather vs delahoya/hatton
cotto vs margarito
morrales vs barrera
marquez vs pac
mosley vs delahoya
mayweather vs mosley
vazquez vs marquez

 

I stopped taping them shows a while ago.......... I have most of the fights on tape at full length.... I want the actually fight; not all the pre and post chit-chat....

I'll take ESPN's "Superbouts" any night than that of "Legendary Nights."

Bottom Line: "I want the fight.":deal

edit

 

I don't really care to see episodes done on recent fights. I've already lived through the fights and don't need to go through it again.

I'd rather see older fights from the 1970s, even the 1980s.

And no myths like the others. Legendary Nights spawned more myths than Ancient Greece.
