    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....

      You can say the same thing about the second fight bewteen Ali & Frazier.

        Ali only fought Floyd twice.

            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.

              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.

                I think me and jabs were thinking the same thing at the same time.
