As for the Ward comment, I have to completely disagree. Micky Ward's chin was amazing to say the least. The guy was knocked out once in 51 pro fights. That is damn impressive.
Mickey Ward was never knocked out.
Vince Phillips stopped him on a brutal cut.
It was a TKO loss, but Ward wasnt' down or counted out.
I was unaware of the exact defenition of "Prizefighter" as opposed to "Champion" etc. Either way, he is one of my all time favs.
I love the guy too. He's had so many great fights and has been great to watch. So yeah, he's one of my favorite fighters too.
I remember seeing his fight against Judah when Judah was an undefeated prospect. (15-0 I think) Ward fought a lot of the fight southpaw, (which hurt him imo) and Judah was too fast for him, but he kept at it and fought hard until the end. He even had Judah running in the 8th round I think. Landed a vicious left hook and he had Judah running for the rest of the round. Micky just stood in the middle of the ring and said "come on."
Bozo,
You're right, that stoppage doesn't take anything away from Ward in any way. It's unfortunate the decision was the wrong one, but it doesn't affect what Ward accomplished. Seeing a rematch between the two would have been nice though, but I'm happier Ward chose to go on and fight Gatti.
Lascano gets my vote.Just saw him once at 140 and he koed a guy with a half landing uppercut.I think he will **** harder than Tzsyu especially with both hands.
