      Which in the real world means absolutely nothing. Wasn't Iran Barkley the WBU Heavyweight Champion? He was better than Ward, but isn't in the HOF either.

        No dout Ward was one hell of a warrior and gave the fans great excitment over the years, but he isn't worthy to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame.

        Especailly when fighters like Sumbu Kalambay, Ceferino Garcia, Naseem Hamed, and Jung-Koo Chang haven't been inducted in it yet and may other more worthy fighters than Ward.

          Come on now.

          Ward was a very entertaining fighter, and I know Canastota doesn't have the highest standards compared to other sports, but still....Ward doesn't deserve the HOF.

            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?
            you really love him that much!sorry,NO!

                    No, they shouldn't.

                    There's been a lot of exciting fighters throughout history, many contenders who were entertaining. That alone shouldn't get you into the HOF, and Ward doesn't belong in there either.

                    It'll be ridiculous if guys like Ward and Gatti get into Canstota while guys like Lloyd Marshall, Eddie Booker, Julian Jackson, Marlon Starling, Donald Curry, Esteban Dejesus, and numerous others are not in there.

                      I don't think he is hall of fame material, but he shouldn't be forgotten. They should build a statue of him and gatti in atlantic city or something.

                      this point in the fight would be good, and it wouldn't be to difficult to build. a statue and plaque would be great imo
