I could be wrong but I don't think HBO covered Leonard-Duran or Holmes-Cobb.

Anyway, I agree with Holmes-Spinks and Lewis-Holyfield. Hopkins-Trinidad should have been a no brainer to HBO, but I guess they didn't feel that way. Any combination of Morales-Barrera-Pacquiao would be fine. Gatti-Ward would probably find a place in there. Maybe Mayweather-Oscar.

You're right. Duran/leonard was closed circuit( I miss those fights). Holmes/Cobb was ABC & ABC had the rights to Duran/Leonard as well.

Barrera-Morales, Pacquiao-Morales, and Pacquiao-Barrera would all be excellent, similar to how they had the Hagler-Leonard-Hearns based eps. Tarver-Jones wouldn't be horrible, though it wasn't as exciting a trilogy. Taylor-Wright would be a good recent but there's not as much conclusiveness there and there's still a possibility of them fighting again, the thing is they have to take on fights or series' that have been conclusively finished. So Gatti-Ward seems like a no-brainer, as is Pacquiao-Morales. If Barrera retires after the second fight with Pacquiao their two duels might be a contender, as well as his shootout with Marquez earlier this year. Taylor-Hopkins is a good possibility as well along with Hopkins-Trinidad and Hopkins-De La Hoya. Cotto-Judah seems like a good one assuming Judah doesn't make it back to the top as does Mayweather-Judah and Mayweather-De La Hoya in the event that neither happen as a rematch (which seems highly unlikely as well). I also think Forrest-Mosley could be a good one as well as Mosley-De La Hoya and Mayorga-Forrest (depending on what happens with them, as they might end up fighting an unprecedented third fight and presenting further drama). De La Hoya-Vargas and Trinidad-Vargas also are pretty enticing ones given how competitive and ramatic those were as well.

Gatti-Ward would have been awesome.
