Gatti/Mayweather

highlights?
Didn't HBO showcase MUCH MUCH better fights than those three? I know they want high profile names, but those weren't their "best fights".
Morales/Pacman
Arce/Hussein
Wlad/Peter
Cotto/Torres
I mean if it is THAT important to include a one sided fight, Mayweather/Gatti is fine since it was a stoppage, and Mayweather's preformance was more exciting that Winky over Tito...
but showcasing two one sided fights and one flinchfest decision will not help the sport...
i thought "what the hell" too when i saw that list.
who would even dare to think that any of those fights would have been "best of 05"?
i agree with tyrant in saying cotto/torres, wlad/peter, arce/hussein, and morales/pacman would be a better list.
This is amazing. HBO is definitely on some heavy stuff. I had high hopes that with 12 Boxing After Dark shows next year, they would bring us some of the great battles between up and comers. I doubt they are cabable of scouting top fights, if this is their choice of the top 3 fights on HBO. This is hilarious.
Well, you're going to have to wait for some of those battles, because although HBO did say BAD would be a monthly series, it will not BEGIN until spring, so March at the earliest and maybe not until April. I hope not...I also hope we get classic, vintage BAD stuff like Barrera/Jones and Ike/Tua...how about Miranda/Pavlik or A.Green/Ward. I hope they put on great cards in 06 to make up for this year...

I'm pissed off as well, I think these three should've beem HBO's best of 2005:
1) Bernard Hopkins vs. Howard Eastman
2) Wladimir Klitschko vs. Eliseo Castillo
3) Fernando Vargas vs. Raymond Joval
hahahahaa i've seen all those fights and man, they bored me to death.

u said it perfect. nuff said.
I think they intentionally held off Morales-Pacman because they will air it on 1/20/06 for free. Granted, the audience will likely be smaller for the Friday night showing but I would bet that is their logic
Yeah, they are retarded. Plus if they aired Morales/Pacman, it would help promote their 2nd fight. Dunno what their thinking. Hopkins/Taylor 1 over Pacman/Morales is an insult.
