    Britton-Lewis and its not even close imo.

    These guys fought over 20 times, and most of the time a title was on the line.

    By the 1900's these 2 were swapping the championship back and forth.

    Ali and Fraizer has nothing on this.

    there are plenty that would qualify...

    I loved the Eubank/Watson/ Benn rivalry, and the clash in personalities and genuine animosity that existed between all of them.

    That is a solid answer and it exists in the past, present and most likely the future as well.

    But it should read Puerto Rico vs Mexico, LOL!

    Not much of a rivalry considering SRR won all but one. Still, fighting each other 6 times will never be duplicated by any fighters, IMO.

    Most fun had to be Zale/Graziano

    And if length is the measure then Jeanette/McVey/Langford and Wills could be an answer.

    Everything considered, Morales-Barrera is the fiercest rivalry I`ve seen unfold.

    Holyfield-Tyson took a turn for the worst. 'Wouldn't be surprised if Holyfield would gladly fight him today.. not so sure about Tyson.
