    a throwback fighter

    And I don't really give a ****. All he did was ask for tough opponents and you know what?

    They all ran from him like cowards in the ring. Because they were afraid of him.

    That's all that matters to me.

    Zab was scared ****less.....and he ran from him.
    Mickey Ward was a throwback fighter, a true warrior who never threw a punch just for looks or to impress the judges. He lost a lot of decisions in his career, but only to good boxers who landed a few more punches. Ward usually stalked his opponents, looking to land that big left hook. The 1st time that I saw him was back in the late 1980s when he was still very young, with only 1 or 2 losses. It's been too long and I can't remember his opponent. It might have been Mike Mungin or Frankie Warren. He also lost to another true warrior, Harold Brazier a little bit later. I missed that fight but you can be sure that it was dynamite, a couple of real fighters standing toe to toe and trading shots. When Ward lost it was usually just a case of being outlanded by a slick boxer or outworked by a well-conditioned fighter like Frankie Warren. We will miss him. I'll take 1 Mickey Ward over 10 slick boxers like Zahir Raheem or Pernell Whitaker, guys who care more about impressing judges than entertaining boxing fans.

      Yea.. he needs to fight Mayweather. I think he could beat him. that's only if Mayweather tries to slug with him. If Mayweather boxes him the whole fight bye bye Margarito.. He will lose a easy UD

If the scores come back something like 115-113 will he get his props.
        ** Margarito already has the highest respect from the boxing public. After all, he's the most ducked fighter in the world these past few years. What he lacks is what Tito, Oscar, and Tyson had, and that's crossover fans who are excited about a specific boxer.

        Forget about Margarito losing to Sissyboy. He already has Sissyboy on the run. If Sissyboy were ever confined to the ring it'd be a brutal pounding and KO for Margarito since Sissyboy ain't got no punch or strength to hold Margarito off.

          Well, onto the actual question of the thread. (Mickey Ward aint the guy in the title?)

          Margarito sort of has a win-win situation fighting Mayweather. Barring a performacne like Corrales versus Floyd, he can lose and so what? He lost to the commonly regarded pound for pound best fighter currently out there. No big deal, good payday, and still plenty of high level matches he can take. If he wins, its huge, he topples the undefeated guy at the top of the mountain.
