    I feel the same way about both those fights plus Holmes-Norton.

    Ali-Frazier 3/0

    Both fighters spoken/whispered of as all-time-greats; even the weak second fight had moments of classic. Evander will always be seen as a great, but Riddick is seen as a what-if. The first Bowe-Holyfield was a great bout, but the rematches fell short of greatness.

    Just my .02 ...

    Very hard to say, not least because I only experienced one of the trilogies in real time so to speak. But doing some kind of theoretical breakdown I would say that while the second fight was better in Bowe-Holy the other two were better in Ali-Frazier. Especially considering Holy's condition in the third.
