      The most recent one I can think of is this one:

      Hatton beats Malignaggi
      Malignaggi beats Senchenko
      Senchenko beats Hatton

      That one is not so significant but it's got to be the latest one.

            A few years later Holyfield beat Moorer in a rematch and it became full circle but until 1994 it was a good example of the triangle theory.
            I don't think this is a good example because Moorer was beating Foreman the whole fight until those 2 punches landed.
            Triangle theories are more based on somebody beating somebody on points or being ahead on the scorecards when a knockout happens.

              well, when I read that "Byrd beat Vitali" I think about the fight and to me it was not like that. Vitali quit because of an injury but he was beating Byrd, it wasn't like Byrd was winning the fight really.

              Mosley beat Margarito
              Margarito beat Cotto
              Cotto vs Mosley was razor close, wasn't it?
              Margarito beat Cotto? Well, Cotto won the rematch, furthermore there is su****ion about the first fight.

                That's how you see it but I count the win as long as it was not a robbery or a lousy disqualification. I understand your statement but the official result, in this case, seems valid to me and I give credit to Foreman for a legitimate win even if I had only given him one round prior to the 10th.

                  Kelly Pavlik beats Jermaine Taylor
                  Hopkins then puts a boxing clinic on Pavlik

                    What's the difference between my example and yours. Mosley vs. Dela Hoya was close and Mosley admitted to being on PED's in the 2nd fight which puts his whole career under su****ion. Similar don't you think?
