    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!!

    Vasquez-Marquez is the greatest world title trilogy
    Gatti-Ward was the greatest non-title trilogy
    To say one of these trilogies was greater then the other would be hard for me to do.

    Vasquez-Marquez tops Graziano-Zale by a little for me because they had 25 rounds of brutal exchanges compared to 15 vicious rounds between Graziano and Zale. Still, only slightly better for me though both trilogies were incredible.

    Back when heavyweights weren't the laughingstock of boxing, Ali-Frazier was a pretty good one as far as trilogies go.

    These guys beat the crap outta each other in three unfogettable bouts.

    Each one got more brutal.

    At the end of the third fight they could hardly stand.
