Everyone likes Micky, but if he got in the HOF hundreds of better fighters should file a class action suit. In reality he was a good club fighter who never even held a title.

Don't know about a hof'r but he should still be a legend because of this fight , especially in Ireland

No he is not. He never won a world title either, unless you consider the WBU title as one.

Does Mickey Ward deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?
With a record of 38-13 and world title,
and one of the greatest trilogys in boxing history with Arturo Gatti,
which eventually let to his retirement to you think he should be in the HOF?

I think the Hall of Fame should start making exhibits for great fights and/or great trilogies. Because the Ward-Gatti trilogy should be remembered as an important part of boxing history for generations to come, but Micky Ward was not a hall of fame calibre fighter. Arturo Gatti wasn't even a hall of fame calibre fighter. But those two in the ring together made for memorable action that most hall of famers couldn't match.
