No poll, I could easily miss some and there's tons of choices.

There's rivals that have tons of fights together. Sometimes up to 10 or so times especially way back in the early 1900's. The question is what series of fights would you wish to be able to have amongst rivals.

A thread stirred my imagination on this one. And I would definitely take the LaMotta vs SRR 6 fight series. Some of the fights were close and it would be wonderful to see the artist versus the non-stop pressuring bull. Especially seeing a welterweight Robinson handled a MW Jake. And to see that performance of Jake to defeat Robinson, then to see SRR redeem himself only 3 weeks later. Their 5th fight was highly controversial, too.

Their 6th fight is still one of my favorites too. Imagine the how the others would be.

I'd love to see the Langford, McVea, Jeanette round robin.

I'd love to see Graziano-Zale 1 and 2.

I've only seen the third fight and thats apparently the "dud" of the series (I use the word dud loosely as it was still a top all action fight,though a bit one-sided Zale's way.The KO is a ripper though)

I suppose this depends on whether Zale and (more pertinently Graziano) count as ATG's as fighters but their trilogy surely must be counted amongst boxings all time greatest and makes this appropriate for this thread.

:think Fraizer-Ali or Morales-Barrera tie
im watching Bowe-Holyfield right now which was also pretty awesome. So many others come to mind.

Would have loved to see a Hagler-Hearns rematch.
