    Ali-Frazier 2 was pretty shitty. Luckily they more than made up for it in Manila.

    I've never seen Gainer-Kelley 2 and I don't plan to based on what people said about it.

    Not the rematch but the third fight in the Leonard-Duran trilogy was one of the worst big fights ever.

    Holyfield-Qawi 2 wasn't as bad as the others above but still far far inferior to the first one.

    Considering how good their first fight was, Casa vs Corrales 2 was pretty tame.

    I remember being disappointed about the Barrea and Morales rematch,i still think their first fight is best fight of the decade,looking back though the rematch was a decent fight,more technical but still a good scrap,but nowhere near the excitement of their first epic fight,Benn vs Eubank 2 is another..

    Chavez - Taylor 2 was a mismatch
    Leonard- Duran 2 was dissapointing the 3rd is one of the worst fights ive ever seen
    Barrera- Morales 2 wasnt that good but the 3rd was awesome

    It was a good fight until Duran quit, it would have been almost as good if Duran fought til the end IMO, judging by the 7 completed rds.

    Delahoya-Mosley II very dull and boring plus obviously corrupted verdict , whereas the first fight was awesome.

    Yep, EM-MAB II was quite a good high level technical fight with enough action to get excited throughout... it wasnt quite as good as 1 & 3 tho, especially 1, which I class as easily the FOTD & probably the best fight Ive ever seen.... any era.
