3rd place is close, but I give the edge to Bowe-Holyfield.

As much as I loved Ward-Gatti, I can't put it top 3, because there wasn't as much at stake as there was in the other trilogies. They weren't fighting for titles, PFP status, etc.

I loved Morales-Pac, but I can't rank it as high as Morales-Barrera. A real trilogy or rivalry has to involve some level of hatred or dislike. Morales and Pac actually liked and respected one another. You definitely can't say the same about Morales and Barrera.....
That's one of the main reasons why I DID put Gatti - Ward on my top 3!
Just two guys giving it all they had in the ring. And for what? No titles, statuses, or any tangibles at all. Just two evenly matched warriors gutting it out for nothing but pride and putting on a damn good show.
I just had to rate that higher than historical significance.
