    While it pretty much meant nothing and was just a brawl, Gatti- Ward is pretty much the pinnacle of a boxing trilogy. It was a movie basically.

    Frazier vs. Ali was also outright incredible and far more important to the sport, but it just wasnt as incredible as Gatti Ward.

      I don't know. All of them are great and many of them are better for different reasons. Obviously Ali/Frazier was hugely significant and the first and third fights were genuinely great. Barrera/Morales fights were all brilliant and if they were of the same size as Ali/Frazier it would probably win hands down.

      Izzy/Rafa were just incredible fights. Amazing action.

      As Silencers pointed out, there are a couple of really great ones missing. Chacon had his stunning trilogy, and more, with Limon which may have the greatest ever single fight and Andries/Harding was just as good as any on this list, as their wars were as hard, brutal and savage as any listed with amazing back and forth action that lasted for three straight fights without a single dull round.

              Vaz/Marq from an action stand point cant be argued with.

              I voted Barrera/Morales for action + 2 future HOF's & top 50 ATGs with 36 rounds.

              Ali/Frazier just the build up & hype surrounding it, though a lot of people on this board werent around then.

              Bowe/Holy another really good one, not as much leather thrown at the lower weights, less speed makes for less action than the 1st 2 mentioned.

              Gatti/Ward for obvious reasons, but these 2 being far from A fighters brings it down a notch or 2 in my book.

                  Barrera vs Morales for me, all 3 were great fights, Gatti vs Ward is a really close second in terms of Action, as for Vasquez vs Marquez i think there were some factors that kept it from being the best, (fewer rounds, etc)

                      From what I've seen, Gatti-Ward is the most brutal and action packed trilogy.

                      The most important and biggest trilogy was obviously Ali/Frazier.
