    Your thoughts...opinions, for me I've never looked more forward to a rematch after these two fought the first time. Then after Gatti took the second we needed to see the third fight and the last one I litterly stood the whole match in awe. These guys weren't the best weren't the strongest but in my opinion one of the most exciting 3 fights between two guys that respected the **** out each other.

    Thanks!

    They came together in a perfect match for each other, the first and third match I enjoyed the most. Two fighters just laying it all out on the line. Up there with holy field and bowe, ali and frazier. They ended up great friends I believe

    Great action fights. Both guys were glorified above their actual worth as fighters. Neither was ever the best in their division at any given time. They brought in fans and $$ though.

    First fight was awesome. Second and third fights were one-sided, but the third was fun and had a great 7th round.

    Both guys had a lot of other fights that are worth watching.

    Gatti's first fight with Robinson was on par with Gatti-Ward 1. No round as great as round 9 of Gatti-Ward 1, but the action was very consistent all the way through. Gatti's fights with Rodriguez and Ruelas were great fights too. Gatti also had good fights with Manfredy and Patterson.

    Ward's brawl with Emanuel Burton Augustus is a classic. I loved the fight with Shea Neary as well. He also had really good fights with Reggie Green and Antonio Diaz.
