"The Fighter" a movie to be made about Micky Ward!

[Easy-E]

ok, well im white, irish, and from mass, and i still think that making a movie about micky ward is over the top.

there are many other, better stories, that dont result in losing 2 out of 3 fights to arturo gatti...holywood can do better than this

[DiegoFuego]

make a movie about Mike Tyson before you make one about Micky Ward for Christ's sake

**** Micky Ward, we need a movie about Reggie Strickland.
To show a real warrior.

What has Ward done other than his wars with Gatti...

Ward has never beaten a decent opponent...

He never came in as the underdog and win...this movie is pointles...

They should make a movie about Matthew saad muhammad or somethin

[ThunderGatti]

Damn a lot of Ward haters on this forum?? Where is all that hate from?? The guy is a class act, and a down to earth, nice man ( I should know I had the pleasure of meeting him).

But I think the movie is focusing on the other thing Ward and his brother/trainer ****y Ecklund went through. Ecklund fought first and even went the distance w/ Ray Leonard. But then got into some drug problems.

And Micky who has fought some amazing battles against Green, zab judah, Shea Neary, Emanuel Augustus, and of course Gatti. Micky never made more than 30,000 for a fight until his Gatti fights where he made 2 mill he did this all for his daughter. And after these fights he still goes back and works construction, which he still does to this day.

I think this is a perfect blue collar working class story w/ boxing in the background. If anybody deserves it, its Micky

You dumb ****s are missing the point, as usual. Ward had more heart than a lot of fighters in recent memory. Thats why hes getting a movie made about him. Not his record in the ring.
