Really wanna see Benitez get a HBO legendary night, but did HBO have any of his fights so he can get a legendary night.

Surely they must have one? etc Leonard,Duran,Cervantes???

Great idea! How about ESPN doing one of the full episodes of "Ringside" on Wilfred?

HBO will only do legendary nights episodes of fights involving some controversy.

Hmmm..... to be onest there was some controversy involving a Benitez/Leonard fight, Benitez had only belived to of trained 2 weeks for the fight and his own father who was training him, stated all the reasons why his son will not beat Leonard in a interview with Ring Magazine. And his father thought this would motivate him to train and prove him wrong, it never worked just made Benitez party more!

And they could also take a deeper look at Benitez's backgound about how he was the youngest ever world champion and his lack of training for fights etc, and they could also talk about the hype fo the fight.

Both fighters taking unbeaten records into the fight Benitez(38-0-1) and Leonard (25-0) fighting for the most prestigus title the WBC. And it was also Leonards first ever world title fight.

Defiantly worthy of a HBO Legendary night, and it has the potential to be the best one yet if done right!

Your right.
Benitez looked like the type of fighter who never took his boxing career/training serious.
