    not taking anything away from the hard work of the other trilogy fights but right before the 12 round was about to begin for Vaz Mar 3, that was something very special. thers no other feeling then that.

    These two gave us three great fights and theirs no controversial down hill, past it, wash up to their story. They are just two great fighters needing to excuses and even the fans are silent without any excuses for either side. These two may not have the fanbase as the mab and eric out there but they gave us history that needs to be more appreciated and without asking or even mentioning. They gave us light, that fighters like them are the once that deserves the biggest purse possible for a fight, not just a boxing match but a real live FIGHT!

    I would love for one day these two get paid ten times more then floyd or oscar, these two really deserve unlike these other monkeys just whoring themself to the public for publicity. Fake characters, but isreal and rafa are TRUE WARRIORS. I hope one day the public can appreciate fighters like these two and other fighters for what they do inside the ring NOT OUTSIDE!


    it doesn't get any better then that feeling when the fight was heading to the 12th round.

    Its my favorite personally.

    As good as Gatti-Ward 1 was the next two weren't on this level and these are better fighters than Gatti or Ward. Barrera-Morales 2 wasn't as good as these, and probably not Barrera-Morales 3 although it was a great fight.

    yup my favorite too, and these two are elites. This is the best trilogy at the highest possible level.

    Its for certain in the top 5 IMO, something like.

    Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier
    Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales
    Tony Zale v Rocky Graziano
    Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez
    Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward

    What is surprising is that normally when there are trilogies, the 1st fight is always mostly the best then the fights get a little less exciting. But with Marquez vs Vasquez the trilogy got better and better.

    Ali v Fraser is probably still top because of the signficance of the fights i.e biggest division in boxing etc.

    Zale Graziano could maybe match rafa v Isreal for action but like you Ouma bro,I've only ever seen one of their fights and I think it's the only one there is footage of right?

    MAB-EM matches it for action but Vazquez Marquez had more going on ie knockdowns etc.

    Ward-Gatti were AMAZING wars but Vazquez Marquez had way way way more skill on display.

    I'd say Rafa v Isreal is top 3 at worst,for me personally,I'd have it at number 1.2 stoppages and a split decision in 3 fights,knockdowns,point deductions,heart,skill and some of the most ferocious power punch exchanges I've ever seen topped off with the heart breaking round 12(I love Rafa and it wasn't nice seeing his get beaten from pillar to post but he showed SO much heart). The ULTIMATE drama. I've seen this fight on MMA sites getting tonnes of downloads too. I wish it had been advertised more,a perfect way to show boxing off!!
