    Because in the ye olde days guys sometimes fought eachother 7 times or more, the list would be huge! :yep

    I don't think it happened a lot in the last 40 years... mostly a rivalry is left at the 3rd fight (rubber match) with the winner of that one being seen as the superior fighter.
    Wich is strange if you see the huge number of robberies/controversal decisions in those 3rd fights.

    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Daisuke Naito fought each other four times between 2002-08.
    Pong won the series 2-1-1.

    Azumah Nelson and Jesse James Leija also faced each other four times between 1994-98.
    Leija went 2-1-1 against The Professor.


    There are a number of other guys who fought each other four or more times as well, but it tends to happen between lower level fighters.
    Guys like Marty Jacubowski, Verdell Smith, Reggie Strickland and Buck Smith all fought the same opponents (sometime each other) over and over, sometimes under different names.
    But between high-level fighters, four fights aginst each other is a rare thing these days.

    no idea champ.

    Normally a trilogy is all you need. Although i coulld watch morales vs barrera fight 10 times.

    Same with Marquez vs Pac. These guys are tailor made and look set for another 50/50 battle. (Its a shame a lot of fight fans are missing this because there too busy arguing about mythical fights, and p4p rankings etc)

    But to answer your qustion. I can't think of any more than 4.

    Chacon-Limon went 4 (2-1-1).

    Surprised nobody mentioned it. Probably the most famous quadrilogy ever.

    like someone said, usually 3 is all you need, the 3rd fight breaking the tie if there is one. Surprisingly JMM has not won any of the fights. This fight looks to me like a way for Pacman to have an easier fight than some of the others and prove a point by beating JMM. I think Manny knows he is a better fighter than JMM.

    usually the 4 fights bet. top level fighters happen because they bring so much history and excitement. Marquez-vasquez, pac-marquez, are fights that would be remembered throughtout history. There also should have been a 4rth mab-em, and a 4rth gatti-ward, 4rth bowe and holy.

    Although I don't agree with pac-marquez having a 4rth fight

    I wonder which two fighters have fought each other the most.

    I also wonder which fighter has the most draws on his resume and which fighter has the most DQ wins or losses.
