In 1987 just after Pazienza beat Haugen for the 135lb IBF title match maker Teddy Brenner tried to make this fight to be held at the Boston garden. Ward was 14-0 and an up and comer, but Paz saw it as a step backwards and declined. IF it had happened how would it have played out? Paz had tremendous speed at this weight and was much more experienced against a better class of fighter. He did have a tendancy to cut and swell though. Could Ward make a fight of it, or would Vinny be to much?

i think both Ward and Paz would get lured into a war with each other,
no doubt it would be exciting.
i think Ward would out-tough him tho.

but yea, i saw micky beat reggie green in an epic last round KO.
i saw the 1st ward vs. gatti fight, best night of my life.
ive got to meet him at my gym a couple of times, he's a funny guy.
