Does "Irish" Mickey Ward deserve to be in the Hall of Fame??

[joeboxer]

He deserves it just for being Irish.

nope. But he is a warrior.

Ward never won a World Title.I consider him a tough as nails journeyman though,but NO way he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Theres no way either of these guys belong to make it in. They are both great warriors, but their individual accomplishments are very weak.

This is too funny, first off Id like to remind the likes of run w/ knives and kimmy that this is a post on Mickey Ward not Arturo Gatti. So it just shows that you guys are really just Gatti bashers but its cool, everybody has their favorites to root for.

But to reply to ur comments first off Kimmy, Gatti's greatest fights were the ones he lost?? Obviously you have yet to see the Rodriguez fight or the Ruelas fight or the 3rd Ward fight, etc i could go on all day, you couldnt be more wrong in that statement.

And run w/ knives look at my other posts were i explain Gatti's game competition. I dont like repeating myself.

Gatti is too famous to be not in the Hall of Fame. That is why he will be there eventually. And I would like to see Ward there too I honestly think he deserves it, but that is just my opinion.

Niether deserve to get in, but both probably will considering the boxing hall of fame is a flat out joke. They let everyone in.

What a hard mutha though! Respect there! I'd deny him Hall of Fame status cos of his poor fake Irish accent gimmick!

I don't see anything that makes me think Ward deserves to be in the hall of fame. I love him as much as the next guy, but they man was pretty much an average fighter who was insanely entertaining. His heart and toughness are greatly admired, but his body of work isn't too impressive.

I question whether Gatti deserves to be in the hall of fame as well.

Spot on.Neither has beaten many real world class fighters.

Man...this is a joke! So Thunder Gatti is making out like Because he won 2 out of three with Gatgti this qualifies Gatti as hall of fame? What bull****! IF Gatti beats Mayweather , then winner of Hatton vs Tsyzu, then i consider him hall of fame. For Thundergatti to preach pro - Gatti ranks before his beating, i mean fight with Mayweather is just plain gay. Like i said before, PROVE Gatti has a chance with a fighter of Maywearthers standing with EVIDENCE of past gories. If nt, shut up and let Mayweather put this guy in hospital!

Irish Mickey Ward??? Just cos he cuts easy and loses on points doesn`t make him Wayne McCullough!!
