Kinda similar to Hatton, tho not as good! Ward showed what can happen when u fight his fight that night, Neary was due a shot at Gatti
I think Neary was a europian level fighter,Ward a decent frindge contender and Hatton world class.
Neary wasn't bad,he used to fight on itv regular if i remember correctly.All action fighter that just faded away after the losses to Ward and McGee,shame because he was good for British boxing at the time.

Yes it was! Peach of a fight, I was a big Neary fan at the time

Thats accurate id say. But can u at least agree if Hatton went toe to toe with him it could be real tough for him?
Any1 see Ward vs Neary?
That was a great fight.
Mickey Ward was a warrior, but that's all he was. I think some people are just letting dislike of Hatton (or ignorance) cloud their judgement by predicting Ward to beat Hatton.
I the get same impression,there's a lot of hate for Hatton on these boards.
i love ward and i could see him maybe giving hatton a bit of trouble in spots but in the end it would be Hatton pulling out a decision cause i think Hatton would be constantly beating Ward to the punch
I kind of see the fight goin the same way,Hatton is world class and Ward is an exciting tv fighter that is overrated by many.Ward may have a few moments in this fight but Hatton would beat him to the punch throughout most of the fight.Hatton would win this by late stoppage after winning virtually every round,even if he does take a few big shots onthe way.imo.
I still disagree with that. There is an art to toe-to-toe wars and stay in the pocket and making your foe miss. Hatton is good at this as he has displayed against the likes of Phillips, Tackie, Urango, etc. He would outbox Ward on the outside/inside - whichever he chooses, it doesn't matter. Ward is an exciting TV fighter - NOTHING MORE!!!
I just wanna make it clear im no Ward nutthugger but he has good infighting skills too, Rickys are better and he would probably triumph even on the inside but he would get hit at sum point and it would be a real tough battle or optionally he could just outbox him but no fancy hit u at will type of stuff he is a far greater BOXER than Ward but far from a Great Boxer!
More accomplished then Phillips now you are talking crazy! Im surprised you fell this way. Urango and Tackie both would eat up anything Ward can dish out. Ward good fighter but over rated by his fans.

Ward has accomplished more than all of those guys.
Sorry.
And Ward is stronger than Hatton.

Tackie, Phillips, Urango are twice the fighter Ward is. Ward is an exciting TV fighter with great heart and great conditioning. Nothing more, he would get the piss beat out of him because Ricky is the much stronger, faster, superior fighter.
I say Hatton beats him too but ur acting like Ward wouldnt have a chance,in a FIGHT he could at very least hold his own, everybody knows Ricky dont like it to the body, also either could get cut so it is no formality but Hatton has too be a huge favourite

Ricky wouldn't need to box 'em. He would have his way at any point during the fight. He could swarm him, he could box him from the outside, he could showboat and throw one punch at a time like Roy Jones - it doesn't matter. This is one of the silliest matchups I have ever seen.
Ward aint no SRR but give the guy sum credit, if u fought his fight u were in a FIGHT! Hatton aint exactly Roy Jones tho is he? Didnt take much to outbox Tackie or Urango!
ward was put on the map in his fights with gatti and his one fight with augustus. he'd go the distance cuz of his stamina, heart, and chin. but other than that, hatton would shred ward.
