Ive noticed lower weight fighters have trilogies, but Heavyweights hardly do, I can only remember the Bowe-Holyfield trilogy, apart from that did any other heavyweight (champion/titleholder) have a trilogy? even contenders...
Why do we have Less HW Trilogies?

Charles and Walcott fought four times.
But, in general, heavyweight trillogies are a rarity; and only happen when warranted, usually.
Ali-Frazier
Bowe-Holyfield
Holyfield-Ruiz....this is one of the reasons maybe there shouldn't be heavyweigth trilogies.
Ali-Norton....not an exciting series, either, really.
Patterson-Johanson
Charles-Walcott (four)
...and when you get further back, like in the days of Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Sam McVey, and Jack Johnson, those guys fought each other like 11 times in some cases........because they needed the money and because white contenders wouldn't face them.
Everything's relative; and heavweights don't fight that often, anyway in most cases, so the odds of them creating a great clash...which is unusueal for heavyweights....is even less likely.Comment
