Legendary Nights 2008

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.

 

Great show , im glad they are doing more!!!!!!!

 

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.

 

The history behind the roy ruiz fight will make the case. middleweight to heavyweight champ.

 

De La Hoya/Mosley

 

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'd like to see Barrera-Morales

 

I thought Toney-Jirov was showtime.

 

That was HBO. Classic Lampley/Toney postfight interview.

 

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.
