MAB Vs EM trilogy can be added as well.

[He Hate Me]

Great addition.

[carras]

trinidad vs vargas

[compukiller]

trinidad vs vargas

I was thinking the same. DLH-Vargas as well.

[BobDigi5060]

No Gatti/Ward!?

Whitaker-Chavez was Showtime and Jackson-Norris was ABC.

They'll probably do the MAB-Morales and Gatti-Ward trilogies. Maybe PBF-DLH, it was such a big event. Trinidad-Vargas and DLH-Vargas.

Hopkins-Trinidad too. A fairly big upset in a major fight, right after 9-11.

Pacquiao/Marquez would be a good one

a fight with alot of drama and controversy from both sides of the decision

One fighter is prevented from being called unstoppable and the other one's career takes a big step back.

7. Dieago corrales vs castillo

showtime dude

[tays001]

showtime dude

but they would probaly showit still it has more action then any fight on hbo in the las 10 years:hey

[He Hate Me]

yep

[Marnoff]

Sounds good to me.

[TheGoldenBoy#1]

are they actually doing another series of legendary nights?

[He Hate Me]

Yes they are. It was announced a few months back.

[la-califa]

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

[He Hate Me]

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?

[Shake]

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

[Ted Stickles]

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

[A-50]

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.

[He Hate Me]

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

[MacManJr.]

De La Hoya/Mosley

[emanuel_augustus]

Good list.

1. Roy jones jr vs John Ruiz

I don't if this is "legendary."

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

[Nigel_Benn]

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.

[Club Fighter]

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

[brooklyn1550]

I'd like to see Barrera-Morales

[JMotrain]

I thought Toney-Jirov was showtime.

[emanuel_augustus]

I thought Toney-Jirov was showtime.

That was HBO. Classic Lampley/Toney postfight interview.

[Sonny Carson]

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

[KhanB]

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.

[Asterion]

They should do one of De la Hoya vs. Mayweather.

[He Hate Me]

I agree, they should have shown at least one tyson win. hbo can be very one sided. It's my understanding that chavez didn't like the way hbo portrayed him in his bout with meldrick taylor, thats why he didn't participate in the airing of the show.
