The best boxing rivalries

[KillaMane26]

Those lightweight wars between Casaymoer, Corrales, Freitas never get mentioned

[edgarg]

For me:

1. Roberto Duran - Esteban De Jesus

3 timeless wars.

2. Rafael Marquez - Israel Vazquez

Great Mexican rivalry between 2007 -2010. 4 bloody wars.

3. Morales - Barrera

Another great Mexican trilogy.

4. Pryor -Arguello

Pryor won both fights, but I just love that staff.

5. Holyfield -Bowe

My favorite heavyweight trilogy.

Which are your favorite boxing rivalries?

My honorable mentions: Ali -Frazier, Ward -Gatti, Pacquiao - JMM

Duran and De Jesus, only the fist 2 were great, the third was nothing to write home about.

What about Ted "Kid" Lewis who fought Jack Britton 20 times....I read years ago about Harry Wills and Sam Langford, about another 20 fights in the Black Heavyweight Championship series, Cocoa Kid and Holman Williams about 10 fights (I recall reading about this in an old Police Gazette) And Jimmy McLarnin fought Barney Ross 3 very ferocious times with Ross winning 2 of them.

I know that Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler fought a few times don't know how many, maybe 4-5 times. Henry Armstrong fought the same guys several times, can't recall who.

Gaspar Ortega had multiple fights against several opponents, a many as 5-6 each. I would think that all fighters who had well over 100 fights would have the same records of multiple fights against the same opponent. He fought Stan Harrington of Hawaii, at least 4-5 times,

Some rivalries are memorable from the publicity and the actual intensity, which seem to be the ones you picked. ...other, with far more fights are not.

Top five:

David Haye vs. David Haye's Toe

The latter made an appearance on live television and embarrassed the former

Adrien Broner vs. Tha Law

The latter just won't leave the former alone

Bernard Hopkins vs. White Boys

Well, ya know

Jarrell Miller vs. Drug Tests

The latter won't let the former reach his full potential

Andrew Golota vs. Testicles

The latter was always in the right place at the right time

Honourable mentions:

Deontay Wilder vs. Deontay Wilder

The former is definitely the latter's worst enemy

Evander Holyfield's Ear vs. Mike Tyson

The latter bit off more than he could chew

[Luilun]

Ali vs Norton , Norton was robbed 2 or 3 times
