    Here are some of mine. 3 or more fights only please. Would like to hear yours. Thanks.

    1. Ali vs. Frazier. 3 fights. Ali's first loss. And just simply 2 of the greatest of all time.
    2. Rafael Marquez vs. Israel Vazquez. 4 fights. A MUST see. Evenly matched, HIGHLY technical boxing. You just don't see fights like this anymore ... well they are hard to come by.
    3. Sandy Saddler vs. Willie Pep. 4 fights. Offense vs. Defense. With one of the dirtiest 4th Title fights of all time. Willie Pep (229-11-1). Averaged a pro fight every 6 weeks for 26 years! A "real" boxer.

    Thanks mcvey. Love the Gatti Ward for the brawling and the others as well. I'm not familiar with the Zale v Graziano. Looking forward to checking that out.

    Not much footage TBH, you'll have to rely on the fight reports.

    Patterson vs Johansson. Two sensational knockouts, and a brutal slugfest to conclude the trilogy.

    Not sure how I forgot perhaps one of the best in Chacon vs Limon

    Duran vs DeJesus deserves a mention

    Bowe-Holyfield. No explanation needed.

    Leonard-Duran. The first 2 were so great that the 3rd bout's action didn't even matter. Rubber match could've been a lot better, though.

    How about missed out trilogies?
    Leonard-Hearns
    Chavez-Randall
    Tyson-Holyfield

    Hey Sangria. Would have loved to see those missed out trilogies as well. Wasn't a fan of Leonard-Duran 2 at all though. I wish Duran took that fight seriously instead of partying in New York every night and ballooning up to 200 pounds. I guess I would too though if I got the 8-10 million up front. lol. Very smart of srl knowing that and demanding an early rematch

    Ray didn't want that trilogy.. Hearns would have won I think by knockout.

    Of course Ray didn't want that, he loss that 2nd fight. Well ..it was very close, but I don't just see how Hearns doesn't win that fight after knocking him down twice. Much respect for srl, but I was never the peoples fighter boxing fan as much as the next guy because I think that carry's a boxer at times. srl vs. haglar. jojo Guerra score 118 -110 for Leonard .. After watching it so many times, I just never can see that
