    Just my opinion, but the Gatti v Ward trilogy doesn't do it for me as much as it does for others. I think probably because the skill level of the fighters isn't at its best. Incredible clash of syles though. But give me Morales v Barrera, Holyfield v Bowe, Ali v Frazier over it.

    Morales v Barrera is prob the best trilogy to watch skill at the highest level.

    Ali v Frazier didnt really do it for me as a spectacle, probably because the last fight made me feel sick at the end

    I see your point and agree to an extent, but I'm always a sucker for wars.

    Gatti was by far the superior boxer IMO. At times he made Ward look like himself when he fought Mayweather. I also think that Gatti should have won on cards in the first, but having said that, the fight should have been stopped in the 9th, so alls well ends well I guess.

    If we are talking about the overall quality of the trilogy. I'll take Marquez vs. Vasquez I, II and III. (Please disregard that **** they called a IV this year!)

    For quality, that is absolute P4P No. 1 Contender!

    I have to agree with contendo that trilogy between vazquez amd marquez was top draw. You couldnt expect much better.

    Bought the contender season 3 on dvd the other day as i haven't seen the Bika/Codrington fight and have heard it was a war.

    Finally got around to watch Soto v Antillon in full. Didn't think it was anywhere near as close as the judges had it, but a good fight none the less.

    Looking forward to the potential rematch of Soto-Antillon on the Pacman-Mosley undercard.
    Should be a terrific card if they can get Wilfredo Vazquez Jr vs Jorge Arce on it too for Vazquez's WBO Super Bantamweight title.

    Yeah it'll be an ok card actually if that all goes on it. Pity the main sucks.

    Pavlik-Taylor 1 - is 1 of my more favourite matches in recent years.

    Quality fight that had massive importance...just adds that little extra to it.
