Trilogies? Do they help or hurt fighters careers?

He had that heart problem, hepatitis problem etc., he was still one of the top guys in the division after that and pulled off a big upset against Tyson.

Yeah, thats true, but that was his last GREAT victory.

Holyfield has been going downhill since the Lewis fights, sad to see.

Roberto Duran had his biggest win (Ray Leonard I) after his trilogy with Esteban Dejesus. Duran also had big wins over Carlos Palomino, Davey Moore, and Iran Barkley. Dejesus was never the same, although it wasn't just the Duran fights (drug abuse) that played a role in that.

Some of Izzy Vazquez's most notable wins (Jhonny Gonzalez, Rafael Marquez II and III) were after his trilogy with Oscar Larios.

Sometimes the damage taken in trilogies, in addition with age, make a fighter deteroriate quicker or even "ruin" them more or less, but it's not always the case.

But erik was never the same after his two trilogies With Pac-man and MAB.

I think it's pretty expected that Morales would decline, given the tough fights he's been in. The Barrera fights, Chi, Pacquiao, Chavez, etc....He's yo-yo'd with his weight too. He was probably already declining by the Pacquiao fights anyway.

Erik had great wins even the one win over Pac-Man and MAB but after those two trilogies he fell off.

How many trilogies have Ali had?

[Silencers]

2, Norton and Frazier.

One of the first trilogy fights happend between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frasier. In my opinon neither fighter was the same after their trilogy. Erick Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera neither fighter was the same after their trilogy. Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe, Arterio Gatti and Mickey Ward the same outcome as the fights listed above "Neither fighter was the same after the trilogy"
What happends after the third fight? Can you name a fighter who has had a successful career after a trilogy?



Side question: Would a trilogy be good between Pacquaio and Juan Manuel Marquez, Cotto and Margarito?

trilogies are good but I just don't like them back to back.
