    "Bowe-Holy" I suppose... After all, I lived and taped it while it all occurred...

    "Leonard-Duran 2 & 3" flopped big time... But # 1 was a gem in Canada...

    I really like "Paz-Haugen 1 & 2," but # 3 was a tactical dud...

    Holyfield-Bowe for me - at least from my own era

    I guess probably Zale-Graziano is definately up there alongside if we're talking all time

    then you've got Robby & Lamotta which was a double trilogy!!

    Morales-Barrera holds a special place for me because i lived through it and loved all 36 rounds of it.

    Although there is truth in the notion that Duran 2 and 3 weren't brilliant, the first fight might just be the most high quality fight on film, and on the strength of that i actually consider it a great trilogy, maybe i shouldn't.

    Ali-Frazier and Gonzalez-Carbajal are both great.

    Zale-Graziano isn't all on film is it? I've only seen the third fight where the ref seeminlgy wanted to see a public beheading!

    I'd like to see Montgommery-Jack, i bet they were high action.

    I love watching the 3 avail.able Charles-Walcott fights the most.

    But Patterson-Johansson is my favorite official trilogy.

    Bam, right what I wanted to say. Mccallum-Toney fights are also favs of mine but not the third. I know I stand in the minority when I say that I actually loved Duran/SRL 2( I only hated the 7th round) and I found the third fight to be OK. I'm pretty sure I'd love the Duran-Dejesus trilogy but I haven't seen it yet.
