Gatti-Robinson > Gatti-Ward

[Thread Stealer]

The Gatti-Ward series got more attention, but I prefer the Gatti-Robinson series. More consistent action throughout (although no rounds quite as great as Gatti-Ward 1 round 9) and closer competition.

Robinson-Gatti 1 = Gatti-Ward 1 > Robinson-Gatti 2 > Gatti-Ward 3 > Gatti-Ward 2

Nah.

Robinson was on top throughout his fights with Gatti.

Gatti - Ward was an amazing fight. More of a see-saw battle.

I dont agree. Gatti-Ward 1 was the best fight ive ever seen. watch this,

I was actually comparing more as a whole. I guess it's not the fairest comparison since there's 3 Gatti-Ward fights and just 2 Gatti-Robinson fights.

Again, the first fight of each series are about equal to me, with Gatti-Ward having that epic 9th round, and Gatti-Robinson having more consistent, sustained action throughout the ten rounds.

I'd probably rate the Gatti fights like this:

1) (tie) Robinson 1 and Ward 1
3) Rodriguez
4) Ruelas
5) Manfredy or Robinson 2

And Ward fights like this:

1) Gatti 1
2) Burton/Augustus
3) Neary
4) Diaz
5) Green

Those other Ward fights besides Gatti & Burton don't get mentioned much. They were really good fights.

The fight was great but the ref... What a jackass. Thought the whole fight centered around him and wouldn't let'em fight inside.

Watching those highlights reminds me why I'm not suprised Gatti had problems outside of the ring. Just that 1 fight on it's own (Gatti-Ronbinson 1) would be enough to render a fighter shot.

I also like those fights more than the Ward fights. But Robinson just ****d him, only the kds made the first fight competetive.
Do you guys think those fights took something out of Robinson?
Or was he just a tough guy with much better skills than Gatti, but not good enough for the world szene?
Gatti was threwing like 60 punches on the belt line and below.
