    when i saw gatti/ward 3 i didnt think id see a more enjoyable trilogy, and then, marquez/vazquez happened. Both were ****ing awesome for us fans but in my opinion i enjoyed the latter more, mainly i think because not only did they go to war they were also exceptionally skilled boxers who were at the time the two top dogs at there weight. What do you guys think as fans? Which gave you the most exitement?

    Vazquez-Marquez, definitely.

    Barrera-Morales is 2nd among trilogies this decade.

    I'd say the Vazquez/Marquez for the same reasons, same amount of action, higher level of skill.

    EM V MAB was a hell of a trilogy too, your right. Out of interest who did you give fights 1 and 2 if you were a judge?

    personally I consider EM vs MAB to be top...Then Marquez/Vazquez.....THEN gatti ward.
    Sorry, but the amount that em and mab ACTUALLY hated each other, just threw so much more emotion in it. Plus I love morales :D

    Vasquez-Marquez is a better trilogy because all three fights were top-notch action fights. The second and third Gatti-Ward fights are slightly over-rated.

    Gotta go with vasquez-marquez, the fact that there were 2 stoppages in the trilogy is unique, and the fact that they were both the best in their divison, and we still have a chance for a fourth bout!

    Vazquez - Marquez by a good, wide margin. Better level of overall skill and everyone of their fights was a fight of the year candidate. You can't say the same about Gatti - Ward. Plus, every fight of the Vazquez - Marquez trilogy got progressively better as the series went on, and with Gatti - Ward you got the best fight right off the bat and the next two didn't quite live up to the original.

    Marquez/Vazquez def

    This fight was intense, I was out of my chair all 3 fights. I think it was a bit better because of the skills of the fighters. Marquez is a top p4p fighter, to see him in a dog fight like that was great.

    Marquez-Vasquez. Gatti and Ward are just journeymen who are super durable.
