I won't bull**** and say fights that I've yet seen or could possibly seen just because I wasn't born in the time, though I really enjoyed Gatti-Ward and Morales-Barrera a whole lot. I don't think the Corrales-Castillo trilogy will ever be as good as it could have been since the issues following the 2 fights so far. I mean the first fight was great, amazing, though ended controversially, and the 2nd fight was controversial before it even began. I'm in no way anticipating the 3rd fight as some might be though I'll watch it to see what happens if they both go legit all the way through. Morales-Manny could also rank up there with the best if it does follow through for the 3rd fight.Comment

Why aren't people excited for this fight? I mean i am pumped. The second fight was very conroversial but the first fight wasnt even close. Castillo was a freakin rag doll. He was limp, He would have gone down the first time in his career.
I dont count the second fight because of the weight issues, so this third fight is the real sequel to the greatest fight ever. I dont see why people arent pumped for this fight!?!?!?!?!?!Comment

I like your list; but I like Duran- De Jesus more than Bowe-Holyfield.Originally posted by K-DOGG
And I would have liked to mention (not as part of the top ten) Carbajal-Gonzalez, but the two other fights were not really as dramatic as the first.
Then, there was the Ruben Olivarez-Chucho Castillo series...drama-filled, each time! That two of the three lasted the distance and one ended on TKO on cuts were not indications of the lack of violence but testaments to the stubborness and resiliency of both. Olivares was KD'd in the second (or, third?)round of the first meeting but went on to nearly take Castillo out, failed, and got a UD instead. In the second encounter, Olivares suffered a cut from a headbutt in the very first round and by the mid-rounds was barely able to see. Castillo became Bantam (both WBA and WBC, as there was no IBF then) king in the 14th round after the ref stopped the contest due to the cut. In the third and final installment of the series, Olivares saw himself on the canvass again in the 6th but came back to pummel Castillo for a clear decision. The three fights happened between April '70 and April '71. The Olivares-Castillo rivalry was, perhaps, the most intense among Mexican rivalries until Barrera and Morales came along. (There are even those who contend that Barrera-Morales pale in comparison, but I won't argue for or against that.)Last edited by grayfist; 04-27-2006, 10:29 PM.Comment

Ali-Frazier, Gatti-Ward, and Barrera Morales are three great trilogies.Castillo-Corrales will become a great trilogy no doubt.Why does anyone care about the controversies in the fights.I don't give a damn about the mouthpice issue or the weight issue all I care about is how great the fights are.Comment
