I admire Ward and Gatti's courage but Ward is a punching bag, and so is Gatti when he fights top-level opponets (Mayweather, and Delahoya)
    MAB/EM fight 1 you expect MAB to win, but EM won.
    fight 2, the other way around.
    the 3rd fight concludes it all (IMO).

      I'm gonna go with Barrera/Morales. The Gatti/Ward fights were entertaining, but after the first one it was pretty clear who the superior fighter was. When I saw the trilogy, I thought Gatti was gonna come out on top right until he got hit with the left hook to the body. In the second and third, however, it was just one sided in my eyes, especially the third.

            ali-fraizer wasnt competitive each time?

              However between the other 2 its Morales vs Barrera.

              Their fights were all heart, hate, passion, everything and brought a level of skill to which Ward and Gatti's trilogy simply dont match up.
              If you haven't seen ALI-FRAZIER then you need to put that on your list of priorties to do....SOON! That is a classic!!!! I can't decide between the three I love the most. Barrera and Morales was hate bred. Gatti and Ward was like two warriors fighting because they are warriors. No other reason needed. Ali and Frazier was a bit of hate and pride mixed with the need to be respected. I almost say that was the best because even to take second was god damned impressive. It is too bad they ruined each other's career....or ending of their career. I wish Frazier was able to redeem himself from his losses to Forman. Her might have had a chance to win had the Thrilla In Manilla not been so damaging. Frazier's my boy.

                What????? I agree to a point about Gatti/Ward and Barrera/Morales. But if you are talking about the Thrilla In Manilla then you must have only seen the first 3 rounds and round 13 and 14. Because in between was a god damned war. Go back and watch, without the bias of "Ali being the greates" and you will see.

                      i aint seen all 3 ali vs frazer fights so i cant comment on that, but the greatest trilogy ive seen is barrera vs morales, there trilogy is so unique, 2 mexican legends who would be the no 1 fighter in mexico right now if the other fighter didnt exsist, the fact that they have REAL HATE for eachother, its not just hyped up for the media, the fact that world titles were at stake for each of their fights and the fact that this trilogy was fought at 3 different weight classes, something that i dont think has ever been done before. the first fight was one of the best fights ive ever seen and was a war, non stop fighting, brawling and to top it off the decision was contraversal at 122 lbs, there 2nd fight at 126lbs started off slow but picked up from the 6th round and was a good fight with boxing early on and then in the latter stages both fighters went all out and again the decision was contraversial and then their final third fight at 130lb was a great fight with boxing and brawling and it put closure on the 2 fighters as to who is the best fighter between the two as the decision was correct and no one really argued as to who won the fight and it ended with no controversy as barrera was the clear winner and put closure on there trilogy.
