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?
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.
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.
