And by "lesser" I clearly mean the B-side.
One example is Pacquiao vs Marquez. Pac-Man was the A-side, but while the match totals for their rivalry is 2-1-1 in his favor, his victories were both razor-thin decisions (with many feeling that Juan should have been given the decision in both the first and third fights) and Marquez ended up getting the last word on him in the fourth and final fight by knocking Pac unconscious - The only bout of the series that had a definitive ending.
How many other feuds throughout boxing history have there been where the series was won by the less popular star? Ali won his trilogies with Frazier and Norton, Leonard won his trilogy with Duran, Pacquiao was victorious in his trilogy with Timothy Bradley, ec.
