What makes a great fight?

[GFlannery]

As a quick side note, I would love to see that video of Ward and Gatti sharing a hospital room, anywhere I could download it?


Ward does have more class than most people. He gives back to amature boxing here and recently ran a marathon for disabled athletes. good dude.

It's true, Ward is a true gentleman with class. Not to mention a left hook to the body straight from hell. I won't lie, I am slightly biased towards him because he is Boston Irish like myself. Plus he is just fun to watch.

Gatti does talk a lot sometimes. But I don't know, I can't help but love the guy. He is a warrior, and I think he has had some great fights.

I agree that Mayweather and Ali back up their talk, and I do love to watch both of them fight, I guess it would just be more satisfying if they were more modest. Then again, modesty wouldnt be appreciated without the alis and mayweathers.

I also agree with BigSlick. A good chin is great, and a brawler mentality makes a fight more exciting. Word.

Ward has more class than most people, period.

2 fighters with a good chin and a brawler mentality, doesnt necessarily mean they are brawlers.

Example Corrales vs Castillo

It's always great to watch a ginger get his head caved in.

For example, I didn't like Mayorga. I'm just not into the whole image.

It even taints a great fighter for me if they have a big mouth, for example, I don't like Floyd Mayweather Junior,and I am not a huge Muhammed Ali fan. I can respect their ability as fighters, I just prefer someone who is a bit more modest. I don't know. what's your opinion on the matter?

Well, I love Mickey Ward because he truly is a gentlman with class.

Gatti talks a little more than I prefer at times.

Nobody says it but the guy has an ego - as a fighter I love Gatti, overall - Gatti I adore. He does have a mouth, though.

I agree.

But I don't resent Ali or Mayweather. They back up the talk.

I don't like talkers who can't back it up.

It is simple... SUSPENSE makes a great fight. Thats why Mike Tyson sold.

contrasting styles always make for the most interesting fights

I dont know enough about either fighter to pass judgement, but I am not a huge Litzau fan. I knew Hernandez was going to knock him out after his first knock down.


Yea, the Gatti/Ward trilogy is incredible. The interviews after the fights they just show so much respect to each other and it all seems genuine. I don't know, I love both fighters.

Which guys don't you like? (Braggarts)
