    The gatti ward trilogy surly the best value for money ever first 1 was an out and out war, then you had the 2nd which would of been a classic if the first wasnt so good and then u have the final fight were gatti breaks his right hand early on and still wins by ud amazing triolgy

    No, it was too one-sided. The first fight was amazing, but the 2nd fight was a 9-1, 10-0 type schooling. Gatti fought most of the third fight with one hand, and won that won 8-2. The two rounds came when Gatti broke his hand, and when he'd lost the first 2:55 of the round. Round 7 was terrific, the fight as a whole was pretty good, but not deserving of its FOTY award over the likes of Toney-Jirov and Gomez Arthur, nor was this worthy of being called the best ever trilogy.

    All 3 fights in Bowe-Holyfield were excellent. Ali-Frazier had two absolute classics, although the rematch stunk. Barrera-Morales had one classic, another excellent fight in the rubber match, and a decent, very closely contested 2nd bout.

    Frazier-Ali is the best by FAR.

    I also really enjoy Zale-Graziano 3, i'd kill to see complete versions of I and II

    Barrera-Morales is the best imho... the most savage fighting conducted at the highest level. The Ali-Frazier second fight was a one sided affair from bell to bell.

    I can give you four better triology. Barrera- Morales, Vasquez-Marquez, Ali-Frazier, Hollifield- Bowe. All this were wars but at a lot higher skill level.
