[elmersalsa]

Which is the greatest fight #3 of all-time between opponents?

Was it Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier III?

[AntonioMartin]

Easy and yes!

But my favorite fight of all time is Vazquez-Marquez 3.

Of course. Possibly the greatest fight period.

Holyfield/Bowe III was pretty amazing.

Holyfield/Bowe III was pretty amazing.

Yes, that was a good one.
But it's got to be the 'Thrilla In Manila' for me.

[Onetimeonly]

Easy and yes!

But my favorite fight of all time is Vazquez-Marquez 3.

That would be mine

[elmersalsa]

Emile Griffith vs Benny "Kid" Paret III was a great fight, but ended in tragedy.

[AntonioMartin]

Easy and yes!

Ali-Frazier 3 is mentioned a lot, but it had so much damn holding.

I like Foreman-Lyle. And Howard, it did have some skill. You'll notice a jab or 2.

Gatti vs Ward III ?)

[elmersalsa]

Floyd Patterson vs Ingemar Johansson fight #3 was a great one for only 5 rounds. Lots of knockdowns.

[Onetimeonly]

Gatti vs Ward III ?)

Nah, that wasn't even great.

Gatti vs Ward III ?)

Nah, that wasn't even great.

The first was a great brawl, but the rematches were underwhelming and disappointing, IMHO.

Yup, really overrated trilogy. Never the sense mick had a shot in the last two.

You did say 'fight' and not boxing match so I think Hagler v Hearns has to be in there.

They only fought once. I think this is based on trilogies.

[dalcumly]

Oh right - I'm not quite with the symbols thing. I thought this might have been a continuing thread and this was the third best 'fight' of all time. I'll go back into my box!

[gilgamesh]

The 1st fight of their series was the best, but Fight #3 between Morales and Barrera was pretty spectacular.

I think you may have the third Ali-Frazier confused with another fight, maybe the second one.

The 2nd fight had even more holding, but Ali-Frazier 3 had a lot of holding as well.

[Ambling Alp II]

To me, it was the greatest fight of all time. Period. A ton of action. Two guys of great ability fighting in temperature of over 100 degrees, (look at their gloves towards in the latter part of the fight). Nothing beats that.

I don't remember too much holding in Manilla.

Watch it again, Ali had his right glove around the back of Frazier's neck and Carlos Padilia just kept pushing it down.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The 3rd Pac-Marquez was a good one, but the result was stolen from Marquez..
