let's be honest Gatti vs Ward 1,2,3 don't compare to Corrales vs Castillo 1

Gatti-Ward 1 is a bit overrated, because the adulation its received has meant Gatti's greater fights vs Rodriguez, Ruelas, and Robinson are relatively ignored now. But it was still a great fight, and if it's not as great as Corrales-Castillo it's not by much, as that fight had it's down moments too. Of course Gatti-Ward as a great trilogy is overrated, as Gatti won almost every round of the rematch, and would have done the same had he not hurt his left in the third.

It's Vazquez-Marquez that should be the bar that great rivalries are compared to. High skill level, almost as much consistent action as Barrera-Morales 1, and as much drama as Gatti-Ward 1. And each fight was greater. Only wish they didn't taint it with the 4th, when they were both washed up.

 

Gatti V Ward was a Classic....just love watching this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5mRv3xGY80

 

Don't be silly.

Ward vs Gatti 1 trumps all Castillo vs Corrales (and Barrera vs Morales, for that matter) in terms of gut-it-out will vs will. Only fight that comes close, imo is Hagler vs Mugabi.

 

His induction in the HOF is painfully controversial. Lets say that both Corrales and Castillo are borderline HOFs. Gatti should not be in there and Ward is a B- fighter. I think that the skill lever in Corrales Castillo fights was better.

 

For me, Gatti vs Ward I ist the fight of the century.

 

Hall Of Fame

 

for me Barrera vs Morales 1 and Gatti vs Ward 1 trumps over Corrales vs Castillo 1

 

Same here.
Gatti-Ward had more drama than most wars. Point deduction, knockdown, Gatti getting pummeled in a corner.
There were some many times that that fight should have been stopped.

 

It's incredible how people don't get it.

 

Most famous fighter in the history of Atlantic City. Huge gates even against bums!

 

Those guys better than Gatti?..debatable

 

What did Corrales and Castillo do to be rated higher than Gatti?

 

Beat Floyd? They did nothing. Neither guy was as famous as Gatti. His crowd pleasing style and vulnerability, fought anybody they wanted him to.

 

gatti vs ward trilogy is overrated, two bums going at it. Any matchup of near equal fighters in ability can be entertaining. These two fighters could give a **** about defense.

 

Corrales vs Castillo was full of defensive wizardry?
