    I think they should bring this mini-docu series back to screens. I've got them on DVD and it's great viewing. It's fascincating, insightful and I personally learned a lot.

    I think the last one they made was Lewis v Tyson. Think of how many great events and great fights there has been since.

    What fights would you like to see a mini-docu on (since Lewis v Tyson)

    Gatti/Ward and Barrera/Morales are the obvious choices. Both would be excellent.

    This series was excellent. Chavez/Taylor was particularly good.

    Showtime had a legendary Night's type deal for this fight... it's call "The Trilogy" anyone watch this?

    The showed the entire trilogy, Mixed in with commentary from any and everyone involved including Rafa & Israel.

    They show it on Showtime once in a while.
    (I've seen it replayed a couple of times already)

    Klitschko-Lewis
    Barrera-Morales
    Gatti-Ward
    Taylor-Pavlik
    Margarito-Cotto
    De La Hoya-Mayweather ( just cause of the success and drama behind the fight not for the actual fight itself)
    Mayweather-Castillo
    Toney-Jirov
    Hopkins-De La hoya
    Hopkins-Tarver
    Hopkins Taylor
    Pac-Morales


    not all of those are the best possible just thinking off the top of my head

    It will be back in January of 2009 it was supposed to be back this Fall but was delayed for production. They have not said what fights were going to be covered but I believe the number was 6 more episodes.

    It was a great series.
