        Hopkins?

        He had a trilogy with Robert Allen...
        The first fight was a no contest when the referee pushed Hopkins out of the ring and injured him, the second fight was a TKO win by Hopkins, the third fight 6 years later was a UD win by Hopkins.

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?
            trilogies hurt when the fights are back to back.

                If that happens Cotto willl end up beiing shot at a very young age, that is, if Cotto takes nearly as much damage in the rematches as he did in the original.
