    I think Mayweather-De La Hoya 24/7 was great, I still rewatch them. It helped make the fight so huge. My favourite legendary night episode would probably be the Chavez-Taylor one. The worst was Lewis-Tyson IMO.

    I agree. The terrible thing about this fight is they act like it was a prime Tyson and that Lewis conquered a giant.

    I know this might sound crazy, but, I loved watching them all. DLH/Mayweather was great, HBO put so much into that series and good or bad, we learned a lot about these fighters.

    If I had to pick a worst: Legendary Nights - Tyson/Douglas, it was surreal to watch, you were watching what was the end of the "Real Mike tyson" mentally. I remember he said after the McBride fight when asked if this was it, he said: "My career was over Feb 11,1990" It was just sad for me after following mike his entire career.

    why? getting cut is a part of boxing. he should have excersized better defence if he didn't want to get cut. and its not as if it was just 1 cut. his face was basically ripped to shreds

    It's funny that, you never hear the Henry Cooper fans spewing that **** now do you?

    Thats because some fans are realistic about the capabilities and limits of their favourite fighters while others make excuses so they can hype their favourites up to be something special, you obviously fit into the latter category.

    :| "Fack!" :| Fack man!"

    :lol:

    The best one as far as powerful documentaries go was Taylor-Chavez, but the most entertaining one was Bowe-Golota.. especially where they showed Golota punching a heavy bag that had trunks on so he wouldn't low blow the bag.
