Obviously there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here, so what is "lesser known" to one person is common to another. I guess I'm looking for ones that people enjoy that aren't talked about like the Gatti-Wards, Holyfield-Bowe's, Barrera-Morales, etc. For example, I saw on Boxrec - because I look at Boxrec records wayyyyy to often - that John John Molina fought Tony Perez three times, and what all appeared to be very competitive bouts. Any other examples of under the radar trilogies that may be a good watch?
Toney vs McCallum was a great trilogy. Two all time greats that brought out the best in each other. Two of the most technically sound fighters ever. Patterson vs. Johanson was a good one. Lots of knockdowns--Patterson's leaping left hook vs. Johanson's sledgehammer right hand.
Willie Pep vs. Chalky Wright was a 4-fight series in the 40's. Henry Cooper vs Brian London 3 fights...probably liked well by the Brit fans.
Tho not a trilogy, I'd like to see Galindez-Ahumada's five fights in their entirety. Especially the three in Argentina. Jorge got him in one of those.
Right...some of those fights were very close. One or two of them were on the undercards of USA PPV's. Jorge Ahumada is underrated. At least should have been champ briefly, but only got that "draw" w/ Bob Foster in a Foster defense in Bob's home town in New Mexico. "A loss to Muhammad Ali was followed by wins over Pierre Fourie and a draw with Jorge Victor Ahumada. Many at the time felt Foster was fortunate to get the draw against the tough Argentinian and the result prompted Foster to retire." This content is protected
