    That's in order of my favourite.
    Funny thing almost all trilogies only have 2 great fights in them.

    That was a quadrilogy. Try again.

    I had assumed "trilogy +" meant 3 or more, since the OP included at least two rivalries that had more than 3 contests.

    On the basis 'Kid' Lewis and Jack Britton met 20 times one would think they must have fought at least 3 great fights among them.

    Well played with the quadrilogy by the way. But what is the name for 20 meetings?

    Throw Patterson-Johansson into the mix. And that one had (at least in my opinion) 3 great action-packed fights.

    But the ones you listed tend to be my among my favorites (along with Ingo-Floyd), right down to your exclusion of Marquez-Vazquez 4, which I much prefer pretending never happened.

    Points for inventiveness. Not sure it is definitive though?

    You would think so. But just to play devil's advocate, Ruiz and Holyfield could have met 100 times, and I'm not sure they would have 1 "great" fight among them.

    For whatever reason the two that jumped out to me when I saw the OP, were Pac-JMM and SRR-Lamotta.

    But in my estimation, MAB-Morales and Bowe-Holyfield (which both happen to be "true" trilogies) are better rivalries than most of those originally mentioned.

    I must've missed that the first time around, I was distracted by his spelling of TriOlogy.:D

    I don't disagree with you actually. Add in Marquez-Vazquez, Gatti-Ward and Huck-Afolabi to round out the top 5.
