Were There Two Fighters in Boxing History Who Fought Each Other More Times Than Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier?
Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier's three epic fights have become legendary in boxing history. However, the record for the most fights between two boxers does not belong to them.
The distinction belongs to Jack Dempsey and Luis Firpo, who met in the ring four times between 1923 and 1927. Dempsey won the first three fights, but Firpo knocked him down twice in their second encounter, which became known as the "Fight of the Century."
Other notable pairs of boxers who fought multiple times include:
- Rocky Marciano vs. Jersey Joe Walcott (3 fights)
