They have a 1 - 2 record in trilogies. Ward was the giveaway.

Marquez doesnt have a 1-2 record in a trilogy, the only guy he lost to twice was Vasquez, but he also beat him twice, so that isn't a trilogy in the end. The commonality is that they all have back to back to back fights vs a particular opponent, whereas I'd think most trilogies have some space between the fights?

Holy vs Ruiz: 1-1-1
Ampofo vs Armour: 0-3 (Ampofo's 3 Reagan fights were split up)
Norris vs Santana: 1-2
Marquez vs Vasquez: 1-1-1 (the 4th fight was spaced apart)
Ward vs Gatti: 1-2

Do you only count it a trilogy if all three fights come in a row?

I'd always just counted it as fighting the same opponent three times.

Both are trilogies, which is why I wrote

I count it as 3 fights total, whatever the spacing, so Ampofo-Regan counts as a trilogy just as Ampofo-Armour does. Those guys all have the specific commonality of doing 3 fights back to back to back at some point though, so not just trilogies, but also 3 in a row versions

Marquez and Vasquez had a 4 fight series, going 2-2. What is a 4 fighter called anyway? A quadrilogy?

The answer was that they all had back to back trilogies 👍

Yeah back to back which is why I mentioned Ampofo and not Armour as Armour had a fight inbetween but for Ampofo they were on the spin

Anyone remember the guy that had title shots for the Southern area, the British, the Commonwealth(3 times), the European(3 times) and the World (WBO) and lost every one ?
