    If you were to do a Mayweather fight it would have to be Hatton. You've got the linear LWW from the UK fighting the linear WW from the US - a fight that had been a couple of years in the making.

    There's a story to it at least, and the fight was fun..... even though the wrong man won :lol:

    The DLH fight was all hype and **** all substance, it's not historically significant either.

    You'd do both Pac/Marquez fights..... I think Pryor/Arguello is a slightly different case to Lewis/Klitschko - there's not really the background tale with Klitschko to make an episode intriguing.

    I guess Mosley/Margarito might work, perhaps even Pacquiao/Cotto also - they could tell the tale of one man who'd looked invincible before running into Margarito and was seeking redemption vs a phenomenon who'd rocketed through several weight classes but might have been taking on more than he could chew?

    If I had the time and the money (more importantly) I'd pour my heart and soul into making a British one before going Stateside.

    Benn v Eubank 1 & 2
    Eubank v Watson 1 & 2
    Hatton v Magee
    Calzaghe v Eubank
    Lewis v Bruno
    Naz v Robinson
    Haye v Macaranelli
    Thompson v Haye
    Arthur v Gomez
    Moore v Macklin
    Harrison v McCullogh
    Hamed v Ingle
    Calzaghe v Reid

    That's some all-British fights there would be scope for Brit v ROTW fights too. There's some underground fights that slipped under the radar. But the infamous one are in there somewhere.

    Where is Bowe-Holyfield???

    Foreman-Moorer is my favourite. What a story. What a fighter.

    Martinez Vs Williams; both avoided, both took the fight on short notice at middleweight...and then onto the rematch where Sergio is champ. The build-up to the fights can start with footage from the Pavlik-Williams presser, going on to Sergio getting the eventual shot and ending with their rematch (and that shot)

    Two humble guys as well, this is an episode about proud warriors.

    New Series:

    Sergio Vs P-Dub
    Hatton Vs Floyd
    Mosley Vs Margarito

    Are three that could make for interesting episodes for a number of reasons.


    But if it's everything since the last series, Barrera Vs Morales and B-Hop Vs Tito would be obvious frontrunners.
