Fury's Two Trilogy Claim

[DrDuke]

Maybe he meant two 3-0 trilogies.

[Old bones Ian]

Jack Johnson at least 6 guys he fought 3 or more times
Bob Fitzsimmons 3 or 4 guys fought 3 times
Jack Dempsey 3
Ezzard Charles 4
Jersey Joe Walcott 2
Muhammad Ali 2

Maybe he meant two 3-0 trilogies.

Perhaps but that’s not even true either given the result in the first Wilder fight despite most of us thinking Tyson deserved it.

Perhaps he meant winning 2 trilogies although that can’t be true either.

Winning 2 trilogies at heavyweight without losing a fight perhaps? Nope. Archie Moore against Honeyboy King (3-0-1) and Joey Maxim (3-0).

[Old bones Ian]

Archie Moore never held heavyweight title

Archie Moore never held heavyweight title

I was too busy thinking/looking for trilogies that I forgot that main part!

I did the same when looking at my list as well

Maybe he meant British heavyweights in a trilogy?

that's only one though if you mean all british trilogy

Did he say he wanted to be the second to do it (Lennox the first?)

I’m just guessing mate. I believe it’s all bluster

it's all because he's trying to sell a pointless fight I suppose,even he knows deep down it's a sham.

[maverick23]

Is there any other heavyweight champ that’s fought 2 trilogies and hasn’t lot a fight in those trilogies?

If that’s what he’s getting at it’s a bit of a pointless claim to fame. Just indicative of taking fights we potentially didn’t want to see again.
