Sports Rivalries You Need To Know About

You need to believe that you are the best to ever do it in order to become a top-level athlete and therefore, it should come as no surprise that there are lots of rivalries in all types of sports starting with boxing and ending with tennis!

Everyone wants to be the best and there’s no faster way to get better other than to compete against someone of the same level. Unfortunately, some rivalries went too far.

We are going to kick things off with one of the greatest rivalries in boxing, Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. The problem here is that these two are not just rivals, they hate each other and they make sure to express their feelings every time they have a microphone in their hands.

19. Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield

18. Red Sox vs Yankess

Everyone who watches baseball knows that the Red Sox and the Yankees hate each other. While a little bit of competition might not hurt anyone, one time things got out of hand and the Pedro Martinez ended up beating the 72-year-old Don Zimmer who is the Yankee Coach.

17.Honduras vs El Salvador

There have always been tensions between Honduras and El Salvador, however, everything broke loose when the national teams of these two countries played a soccer match.
