Most evenly matched, competitive fight(s)?

[UglyPug]

In the history of boxing, has there ever been two fighters who could never get the best of one another? Have two fighters ever drawn twice? or thrice?

If the fight(s) didn't end in a draw, could they have easily have?

I would say Leonard/Hearns, but Leonard knocked him out the first time, and the second time the fight didn't mean as much as they were out of their primes. Marquez/Pacquiao comes to mind. . . Hmmm Marquez/Vazquez? Taylor/Hopkins?


I'm talking about two guys who literally fought each other TOOTH AND NAIL MORE THAN ONCE! Where the fights couldn't have been closer!

Multiple fights, I don't know. But Pacquiao-Marquez 2 is the most even fight I've ever seen.

Holman Williams and Charley Burley split 7 fights right down the middle I believe if that counts

[SCtrojansbaby]

taylor vs Hopkins seems like a good choice Norton vs Ali also

Although Barrera had a slight edge his trilogy with Moralles was very closely fought!

Jersey Joe Walcott had several closely contested fights with Ezzard Charles, winning two and losing 2.

A couple of other closely fought fights:

Holmes vs Norton

Holyfield vs Bowe 2

holy shyt! NOW THAT is what you call two evenly matched pugs!

Thank you for this information that I would have otherwise never known!

[UglyPug]

was it a lamotta/robinson one sided type rivarly? or was it evenly matched, when all was said and done neither got the better of the other. . .
