Of course we have Ali-Frazier and Bowe-Holyfield and many other trilogies, but there have also been some series where the same guys fought each other four times in classics. Which are the best? I’ll start with: Bobby Chacon-Bazooka Limon: I wish we had all four available on video. These two guys were made for each other and guaranteed action. Sandy Saddler-Willie Pep: One-sided, yes, with three stoppage wins by Saddler in the four meetings, but Willie pulled a rabbit out of his hat with an all-time boxing masterpiece in his win. What are some others?
Sugar Ray Robinson vs Gene Fullmer Emile Griffith vs Luis Manuel Rodriguez Azumah Nelson vs Jesse James Leija Betulio Gonzalez vs Shoji Oguma Veeraphol Sahaprom vs Toshiaki Nishioka
Wonjongkam vs Naito. Fernandez vs Rivero. Abraham vs Stieglitz. Concepcion vs Marquez. Some which the others didn't mention.
Archie Moore-Bivins, Moore-Jack Chase (6), Moore-Harold Johnson, Moore-Howard King (6), Charles-Maxim. If you include four or more the list could go on and on, especially among the Black fighters in the first two decades. And what about Britton-Lewis?
Not the best, but the strangest one - Evangelista vs Lucien Rodriguez. Evangelista knocked out Rodriguez 3 times - 1976 - in round 4 - 1977 - in round 11 - 1979 - in round 2 But Rodriguez got 4th fight in 1982 and this time he outboxed Evangelista and took 12 rounds decision. Finally got a W after being KO'd decisively 3 times few years earlier.
Jack Britton and Ted Kid Lewis are 2 x ATGs who contested 5 x "quadrilogies" against one another, most for the WW world championship.
