back then boxing use to have a number of trilogies that were both epic and fun to watch. but now, we don't have that many trilogies in boxing where it's two fighters who are evenly match and fight till one calls it a series.
the only on i can think of recently is Vazquez-Marquez and that went on to carry a fourth fight.
what you're thoughts on this?
JMW? god damn....
Yeah he pulled out of the third Holt fight due to weight issues. He said wasn't gonna be able to make 140 so he got lazy and came at 154. He's not even that old, he's like 30. He threw his career away. Another guy going in that pace is Joan Guzman.
Last I read was that he went up to Jr MW in mid 2009 he won by stoppage and hasn't fought ever since.
JMW? god damn....
All I know is I just watched a Quadrology 4 days ago...
but that like the only one in sum years that acatully was good.....before that....what?
Guys that lose, or are given a tough fight, are not quick to want a rematch, let alone trilogy. Pacquiao waited what, 4 years to give Marquez a rematch? Forget about a trilogy at this point. Khan didn't want to avenge his loss vs Prescott, now Prescott isn't even undefeated and lost to a no name. Ortiz is not going to be put anywhere near Maidana. So before we think about trilogies, we need rematches...and we barely get rematches nowadays. A lot of fighters don't want to fuck with the guy who beat them and it's sad there's just a few like Williams(Quintana and wants Martinez), Mayweather(Castillo), Mosley(Wright and Forrest), etc.
true. we need a rematch before the 3rd fight. frankly i really can't blame the fighter solely on not wanting a rematch in the fight, you gotta look into promoters who want to protect their cash cow like GBP with ortiz. and just people's influence's with the fighter that just avoid much needed rematches.

Most recent fights, Holt-Torres III did not happen because Torres pulled out. That would have been a good Trilogy.
what happen to Torres anyways :thinking:
This. Their are hardly any warrior's now-a-days. Most fighters cherry pick to avoid fighting certain fights/fighters they can't win and fight them past their prime. Only if more fighters were like Cotto. I wish he would rematch Margarito, maybe beat him and we could get a trilogy there!
iidk marg beat cotto pretty bad i wouldn't want a rematch either if i was him lol but yeah that could had been one there. he pall Williams and Martinez need to rematch each other to get it on
Many anticipated fights nowadays end up one sided. This wasn't the case back then when the much anticipated fights actually were very close to the point where rematches were necessary.
