    For me my favorite gotta be the Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe Trilogy. I just love how they kept punching each other even after the bell.

    barrera-morales and gatti-ward were also good.

    As far as continuos action and every fight being razor thin, I go with Vasquez vs. Marquez. I love Gatti, but the second fight with Ward wasn't very close, and the Holyfield/Bowe trilogy featured a fairly slow fight. But Vasquez vs. Marquez was balls out in every bout. The last was the best and the entire trilogy came down the the final round. Absolutely amazing.

    A close second would be Ali-Frazier. If I was a bit older and watched those live, that would be my choice. However, I knew who won, so a bit of luster was taken off.

    all of those triolgys were amazing hard to pick one clear on, I always say Holyfield vs Bowe simply because you had two undefeated HWs cracking each other for 12 hard abusive rounds with Heavyweight shots.... we dont see that in the HW picture anymore so I guess I am a bit biased towards that trilogy.

    Vasquez Vs. Marquez I, II & III were all classic fight's.
    (Hand's downs, IMO is my fav trilogy)

    Hard to choose, Obviously Barrera/Morales, Ali/Fraizer ect..
    (Gatti/Ward ect...)
