    Been asking myself what are some of the greatest 4 fights rivarly(or more) between 2 of the same opponents. We are talking major rivalry here - so far i come up with

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson - Jake Lamotta
    2. Daisuke Naito - Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
    3. And now Israel Vazquez - Rafael Marquez

    Any great wars im missing? This is a pretty elite club, that dosen't have a whole lot of people.

    Greb(1) vs Tunney(3) + 1 draw = 5 fights

    Oh, and how could we forget the Esch-Craven classics?

    The black heavyweights in the early 20th century (Wills, Langford, Jeanette) used to fight each other many times.

    Langford fought both Wills and Jeanette at least 15 times.

    Charley Burley and Holman Williams fought seven times.
