    How about Leonard-Duran I, Or Hearns-Benitez, Benitez-Duran. Spinks-Braxton. Holmes-Norton. Hagler-Duran. All would be fine installments.

    Those are really good fights however the posted fights would have more public appeal, How many times do we have to see the leonard duran story regergitated to us?

    Well, a lot of new, casual fans might not know the full ins and outs. I'd support Leonard-Duran.

    I think we will see Holmes/Spinks for sure.

    Maybe Klitschko/Lewis

    No way they waste an episode on Ruiz/Jones that was not even a good fight.

    I believe they are only doing 6 or 8 episodes, so I doubt we will see but 1 or maybe 2 Heavyweight fights.

    Good list.

    I don't if this is "legendary."

    ESPN did do an interesting documentay on Jones' training leading up to this fight. Worth watching.

    Mosley vs Oscar
    Oscar vs Vargas
    Tito vs Hopkins
    Barrera vs Morales Trilogy
    Jones vs Toney
    Toney vs Jirov
    Lewis vs Klitschko
    Gatti vs Ward

    THAT MY FRIENDS WOULD BE THE PERFECT HBO LEGENDARY NIGHTS SERIES.

    Diego Corrales vs Castillo won't be done because Showtime owns the rights to those fights.

    I thought Toney-Jirov was showtime.

    The Toney/Jirov fight was the modern day Duran/Barkley.

    In my opinion Hopkins v Tito needs to be on there but Hbo doesnt like Hops too much. They would probably put Hopkins v Taylor just to spite him. They did the same thing with Tyson when they had both his beatdowns by Douglas and Lewis there. I like Lewis but that fight was mostly hype with Tyson fans thinking he would take it back to 1987 and didnt deserve to be on LN.
