Pacquiao-Marquez
Margarito-Cotto

Cotto vs Margarito
Pacquaio vs Marquez
Mosley vs Margarito
Calzaghe vs Hopkins
Jones vs Tarver I

JMM vs. PacMan I. Don't ask me to defend why this fight would deserve it over others, because I have no idea. I just love watching these two guys go Hells-Bells on each other.
Yea, that's true, but then again Cotto and Margarito aren't really legends yet either. But I know what it's about, Diaz Marquez was just a really good fight.
I dunno if you can consider it legendary but Diaz vs Marquez was a really good fight that I could watch more than once.
Legendary nights has gotta be more than just a great great fight. It's gotta be a great great fight with a legend involved. Marquez isn't a legend, not yet anyway. Diaz is...well Diaz lol.
I keep hearing about Legendary Nights, but I have had HBO for years now, and I haven't ever seen it. When does it come on? I never see it mentioned during the fights, never on the commercials, I've never seen it On Demand. Is it just showing the old fights, or is it a discussion of the fights like ESPN Classic's Ringside?
SSM v Marg. Everybody thought SSM was an old man meetin his maker and he fukked dude up. Marg had just won everybody's respect and broken into the big time wit his juggernaut rep, but he got owned as exposed as a cheat.
Ward Vs gatti 1 (Ward was a HUGE underdog)
Marquez vs. Pacquaio 1 (JMM came back from 3 knockdowns, great fight)
B-hop Vs Pavlik (44 year old man beats young, udefeated KO artist.)
agreed. and i agree with the other guy who said it wasnt really about how great the fight was, i mean they did DLH-Tito and Bowe-Golota.
taylor-pavlik is another one
hokpins-tarver would make sense.

Just to point out, HBO Legendary Nights is a series created to celebrate boxing on HBO, not to celebrate boxing. Vasquez/Marquez was on Showtime.
They also do episodes on fights that were huge events and not necessarily great fights as well, so Floyd/DLH makes sense for the series. They could do a Rahman/Lewis one as well. That is a night no one will ever forget.
Yep Mayweather-De La Hoya should be because of it being the richest fight in boxing history and because it started off 24/7.
Totally forgot that Vasquez-Marquez was on showtime.
