Top 5 best boxing trilogies

Gimme your top 5 in order.

I'll remind you of a few to get you started

Zale Graziano
Patterson johannsson
Ali Frazier
Harding Andries
Barrera morales
Gatti ward
Bowe Holyfield

 

Bowe - Holy (I lived through it, unlike the older ones)

Pac - Morales (one of my favorites twice KOed the retard)

Patterson - Johansson (they all are fun fights to rewatch)

Ali - Frazier (The Thrilla is among the best fights ever, I never rewatch the first and the second was poor)

Fifth place is reserved for the one that I have forgotten, there must be some

 

Pac Morales was great. How could I have forgotten it.

 

Winky Wright - Bronco McKart?

 

Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez was clearly the greatest trilogy of our times, prior to the sham of a 4th fight

 

That, or Terry Norris - Luis Santana

 

Parts of ""quadities" or higher are not included.

 

Leonard - Duran had potential but in the second fight it turned out they were on different levels which the third fight confirmed

 

nah Duran only lost the second because of the clown ring, stomach cramps and a whole heap of countless other reasons. Leonard's decision to box had nothing to do with it.

 

Every time I think of a great one, it has more than three fights

 

Duran/DeJesus

 

Yea well, at one point it was. If morales and barrera fight again as washed up old men are u gonna take it off your list?

 

can't think of a single new one. shiiiiiiiiiit.

 

The best is debatable. What's not debatable is the WORST all time trilogy is Pac-Bradley.

 

chavez-randall

 

Most unnecessary yeah, but not the worst.

 

isn't the worst ruiz/holyfield?

 

Damn. Yeah it must be. I thought I had repressed that memory. Thanks Double L.

YES!:bears:

 

Nah. The first two fights were
Pretty good. Last one was utter garbage, but doesnt means thet the whole triology was garbage

 

Personally i dont think anything could top wright-mckart. Three fights that went exactly the same way, with wrigh slightly edging pretty much every round. Zero drama

 

Far from the worst, but Jones tarver was a pretty shitty triology. First fight was decent, but second lasted ten seconds, and third was a track meet.

 

If those qualify as "pretty good", I'm utterly horrified by the idea of what you would consider a "bad" fight::

 

I agree with JOM here. When the first two fights happened, nobody called them bad fights. There was plenty of inside fighting and clinches (such as in Tyson-Holy) but also some solid action.

The third fight is what everybody remembers and it was the prototype of a Ruiz fight (the same as Ruiz vs Kirk, Rahman, Oquendo, Golota etc)

 

The third fight let down the trilogy else it would have been fairly good.

 

I suggest you chaps go back and watch those bouts :tick:

 

Yes!

 

I was referring to Jones Tarver. I have never rewatched any of the Ruiz Holyfield fights

 

Well stop wasting time and get on that. Then ff you still find yourself wanting more treat yourself to some Ruiz-Oquendo.

 

i used to have this theory that holy carried ruiz because in ruiz he had one guy he knew he could be competitive against and plus he was hispanic which meant a built in audience. the theory was, if he beat ruiz as easily as he could have, he would have had to move on to a better opponent who by that point in holy's long career, could've easily taken him. so instead, holy decided he would milk three fights out of ruiz and remain center stage as a result (and with hispanic viewers). that is how bad ruiz is. i refused to believe my own eyes that he could have been competitive with holyfield. but if you are bored enough to ever watch again - pay attention to holy's punches. seems like he might be holding back his power. i could be wrong though obviously.
