Trilogies? Do they help or hurt fighters careers?

[FRANKGWJ]

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 Rid**** 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?

It would be amazing just like the Rafa vs Izzy and the Casa vs Corrales trilogies.

i like triologies, if cotto beats marga then a third fight has to happen. but i think that marga stops cotto again, so there wont be a third fight.

No more trilogy JMM beat Pac twice, why would he want to fight him again but if ever JMM will KTFO Pac worst is he will get robbed again.

I'm sincerely hoping that Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez are as good or better after their trilogy! Great fighters to watch!

Outside of that; Ray Robinson had several multi-fight rivalries with likes of Jake LaMotta and Gene Fullmer and still did very well after them.

Also, Pacquiao had a trilogy of fights with Erik Morales and is still in top form.

Most of the time, fighters get regarded higher if they have a competitive, exciting trilogy and it doesn't even hurt their reputation if they have a boring trilogy, we don't hear anyone criticizing Holyfield for his trilogy with Ruiz.

But holyfield didn't seem to be the same fighter after the trilogy with Bowe.

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

But holyfield didn't seem to be the same fighter after the trilogy with Bowe.

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.
