    1. Ali- Frazier

    2.Zale- Graziano

    These captured the attention of the sporting public. especially Ali-Frazier The others were limited to just boxing fans.

    Saad-Lopez 2 was a great fight.

    If you want a horrible Ring magazine fight of the year, go to 1977 and look how they picked Young-Foreman over Saad-Johnson 1.

    What about the two trilogies between Robinson and Lamotta?Personally, I favor their first trilogy. The second Trilogy was all Robinson.

    What does that have to do with the last two fights with Gatti not being competitive? :lol:

    That trilogy, while enjoyable, is overrated. One great fight, one good one, and one okay one, with just one competitive bout.

    Ward won like 6 or 7 of the 30 rounds in those fights. He got schooled in the last 2 bouts.

    The 2nd best fight of the trilogy, the 3rd fight, wouldn't make my top 5 list of best Gatti fights or top 5 Ward fights.

    Ward won 4 rounds at most in the first bout (rounds 4-5, 8-9), maybe 1 round in the 2nd fight, and 2 in the last fight. The 2 he won in the 3rd fight were when Gatti injured his hand, and when he dropped Gatti at the end of round 6 after losing the first 2:55 of the round.

    That was not an especially close or competitive trilogy.

    Bowe-Holyfield wasn't especially close but Gatti-Ward made it look like Barrera-Morales in terms of closeness.
