View Full Version : Greatest Trilogy IronNick 03-18-2007, 05:46 PM What would be your greatest trilogy in boxing? i say bowe- holyfield, great rivalry. what do you think. The Raging Bull 03-18-2007, 05:50 PM Ali v Frazier easily. ceboxer15 03-18-2007, 05:50 PM Ali-Frazier...no question. Brassangel 03-18-2007, 06:47 PM As far as more recent history goes: Ali vs. Frazier (doesn't have to be THAT recent to still be the best) Bowe vs. Holyfield (though only the first two fights were really great) Gatti vs. Ward (wasn't bad) Pacquiao vs. Morales Barrera vs. Morales lidsy 03-19-2007, 08:54 AM Ali v Frazier MAB v Morales Bowe v Holyfield Pacman v Morales Zale v Graziano Ali v Norton Patterson v Johannson Corrales v Casamayor Duran v Dejesus Gatti v Ward Leonard v Duran Hydro 03-19-2007, 12:18 PM I have only seen on of Zale-Graziano's fights. I would go with either Ali-Frazier, Barrera-Morales, or Bowe-Holyfield. Both Ali-Frazier and Barrera-Morales had classic 1st and 3rd fights, while their 2nd fights were not good. Ali-Frazier II was a boring clinchfest and Barrera-Morales II was OK at best, due to the first half of the fight being so slow. Bowe-Holyfield had 3 very good fights, but none were at the level of the best fights in the other 2 trilogies. ml2niceguy 03-19-2007, 12:32 PM Ali v Frazier easily. ^ no doubt about that Yaman 03-19-2007, 12:59 PM Best trilogy should be one where all 3 fights were great. Ali-Frazier and Bowe-Holyfield had 1 fight that wasn't as good as the others. Hydro 03-19-2007, 01:03 PM Best trilogy should be one where all 3 fights were great. Ali-Frazier and Bowe-Holyfield had 1 fight that wasn't as good as the others. All the Bowe-Holyfield fights were very good though. Larry Merchant made a point during the 3rd bout that the crowd wasn't as into it as before because the action was at close quarters and harder to see, but the viewers on TV got to see what vicious in-fighting there was. Ali-Frazier II was pretty boring to me. Barrera-Morales II was OK. I really haven't seen any trilogies where all 3 fights are great. Bowe-Holyfield is the only one I've seen where all 3 of them were very good.
