We've been blessed with great fights the past two decades, including trilogies that will always stay in our mind. Trilogies are great if they are between two great fighters who come to fight. They are appreciate even more in an era where great fighters do not fight each other often due to various reasons such as money and politics.

The battle for Mexican boxing supremacy. There was no love lost between these two fighters. The trilogy wasn't without controversy as most observers saw Marco winning the first fight while judges favored Erik Morales. In their second fight, Erik won the fight although Marco won in the eyes of the fans.

Diego Corrales Vs Jose Luis Castillo

Two of the best pound for pound fighters at the time came into the first fight undefeated. Riddick Bowe won the first fight while Evander came back to win the second. The third fight saw Riddick win via TKO and of course, who can forget about the Fan Man.

Israel Vasquez Vs Rafael Marquez
