Greatest Rivalry In The History Of Pro Sports ...

For me .. the Ali-Frazier Trilogy from '71-'75, doesn't take a back seat to any other Pro rivalry; Ever!

Even the Yanks & Bo-Sox don't measure up to these guys in this category imo.

I had fun this week at the Dodgers/ Angels game. It's an ok rivalry.

Boxing rivalries in general, at the elite level, are wildly entertaining. See these modern trilogies for proof: Gatti-Ward (okay, so this is not "elite level", but it more than makes up for it in intensity), Barrera-Morales, Pacquiao-Morales, Jones-Tarver, Bowe-Holyfield, Corrales-Castillo (the 3rd non-bout's weigh-in makes it a trilogy of sorts)

I'm probably forgetting some, and that's just for the last 10 years.

Floyd Patterson and Ignemar Johannson had a great trilogy!

Jake LaMotta and Sugar Ray Robinson fought a great trilogy (actually more) and Robinson one time was pounding La Motta bad and LaMotta looked at him and said you will never knock me out.
