You know....it really gets no better than Wright-McKart.
"Purist's" delight !
Yup...32 rounds of southpaw feints, dekes, isolated shots with no power. Nobody down, staggered, busted up....none of that neandrethal shit.
The beauty of monotony.
&....how can you match the drama of the third fight's DQ ending ?
Gatti-Ward ? Zale-Graziano ? MAB-Morales ...LMAO at you low-brow skanks.
Patterson - Johanssen was a good one, though. I've been fortunate enough to get footage of all three bouts.
MAB - Morales is epic, probably the best modern trilogy. People have been talking about the political implications of Ali - Frazier but these fights are also huge politically in Mexico.
Alot of the second fights in the trilogies are not as good as the first and third. Ali/Frazier II, Gatti/Ward II, Barrera/Morales II, and Bowe/Holyfield II were not as good as the first and third fights.
In many of the trilogies, the second fight has the least action...
Gatti-Ward, Ali-Frazier, MAB-Morales...
Actually, I'd say the second fight bewteen Bowe & Holyfield was better than the second fight in any of those trilogies.
You can say the same thing about the second fight bewteen Ali & Frazier.
I think your right now I think about it I just haven't watched it for a long time my memory becomes a little blurred. Good old Stella.
My pick would be Ali-Frasier. Bowe-Holyfield comes close but the second fight just lacked the excitement of the first and third match.
You can say the same thing about the second fight bewteen Ali & Frazier.
Ali vs Frazier is number one because it had so much to do with the state of a nation and the times, it had a world wide impact.
None of the other fights, with the exception of Joe Louis vs Max Shmelling had so much to do with politics.
Gatti vs Ward, I would have to rank second.
Bowe vs Holyfield comes in third.
Barrera vs Morales is a distant fourth in my opinion, and only gets there because it is the most recent trilogy. The people who were too young to see Ali or Bowe can be expected to vote MAB vs Barrera higher....
1-ward/gatti
2-mab/morales
3-ali/frazier
(2-3) can go in either order..i just thought the ward/gatti fights were all heart and what boxing needed to get back on its feet
(keep in mind i have not seen bowe/holy trilogy yet, so i cant say anything about them)
MAB-morales, if only because i saw every fight live and they were 3 of the best fights ive ever seen.
That is serious bragging points! MAB vs EM is one of the top, Gatti vs Ward ranks there as well. Lenard vs Duran if you leave out the third fight. I always thought DLH and Tito would be the next great trilogy, still can. There first fight wasn't as great as many of the other fights mentioned. I can not siply say one was better than the other. Most of them were simply "Awesome"
