    Which fighters throughout history in the same weight do you think are so evenly matched that if they fought say 10 times it could end up 5 wins a peace?

    I think Hagler and Monzon maybe could.

    From 1944 to 1947 Luis Castillo and Tony Olivera met 10 times - with a final tally of 4-4-2.

    Not quite 5-5, but still pretty evenly matched, I'd say!

    Jose Luis Castillo vs Stevie Johnston could have split a series 4-4-2 or something like that, if they fought another 8 times

    Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera

    Beau Jack and Bob Montgomery is probably the obvious answer

    I’ve always been curious as to how Mike McCallum and Bernard Hopkins would match up at middleweight. Seems pretty even to me

    Make it 70-71 Ali and I believe it. Pre-exile Ali, eh, he's winning 6 or 7 of those.
