    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
    They won't be.

    Gatti will be remembered as one of the great action/entertainment fighters, and he's always going to be linked with Ward.

    Personally I didn't think Gatti was that much more exciting than Ward anyway. Ward had a good bunch of exciting fights too.

        He got involved in Unforgetable Wars.
        He doesn't need to get into the HOF to be remembered as an awsome fighter(the same can be said for gatti).

          I loved watching him fight but he's just a glorified club fighter.

                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.
                well said i agree.
