I think the entire Gatti vs Ward trilogy is extremely overrated. One decent fight, two pretty average affairs.

Here's the entire trilogy in a nutshell:

Fight one was decent, but nothing to brag home about. It was boring for about 70% of the fight. It only started to heat up from about the 7th round on. Fight two was alright, a complete schooling by a guy with subpar skills, and fight three was average as well and rather one-sided.

Fights with non-stop action are ok if you like that kind of style, but not all out brawls with no regards for defense and ignoring of technical skills. It's a complete slap in the face to the "sweet science".

All in all, I found Gatti-Ward the trilogy pretty underwhelming considering the hype that surrounds the fight. It's a total slap in the face to other great trilogies such as Ali/Frazier and Leonard/Duran. Real fights with real skilled fighters.

Run the fights through a video editor and turn them both black. You'll like it better.

I don't care what you guys say. I'm sticking by my guns and that's all there is to it. I just don't see what's so spectacular about two C-level sluggers imitating sock 'em rock 'em robots. I mean, where the hell was the defense at? What's so skillful about taking shots left and right without even making an attempt at moving your freaking head out of the way?:huh
If that's what you favor then by all means have at it. I prefer the sweet science. It's a beautiful thing. For an example, just look up any video of Money May on youtube.

It is often overrated but still a good trilogy. The first fight was great, the rematch ok, the third fight pretty good. Not a very close/competitive trilogy however, as Gatti won about 22 to 24 of the 30 rounds, and largely outboxed Ward in the third fight with one hand. 2 out of 3 fights that are good-to-great ain't bad. Vazquez-Marquez and Bowe-Holyfield are rare in that all 3 fights were very good-to-great.

It was better than Leonard-Duran though. Leonard-Duran 1 was an excellent fight, the rematch interesting but a hell of a letdown in its conclusion, and Leonard-Duran 3 is one of the worst big fights in the history of the sport. It was such a god-awful fight that the crowd started yelling "bull****, bull****" in the middle of it. It made Ali-Frazier 2 look like Bruce Curry-Monroe Brooks.

Why do you even need to post here? No one benefits from your posts, it only spreads ignorance.

Go suck on Mayweather's nuts some more

:twisted:

The gatti-ward trilogy didnt involve the most skilled boxers there are, rather it showed what TRUE blood and guts warriors that MOST of us pationate about boxing truely love/admire.

I dont give a **** what anyone says, or thinks they know about boxing, the gatti-ward trilogy was one of the greatest trilogies, in terms of two fighters willing to sacraifice everything they are for their fights, this boxing generation has bared witness to so far.

You are such a flaming homosexual. I bet you couldn't stop stroking it to Dirrell's trackstar impersonation vs Froch...."OMG!!! Look at the skill!!! He moves so fluidly!!! He isn't even getting hit!!! HE'S BLACK!!! AHHHHHH, YEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!...."

Totally ghey, bro, totally ghey.

Please shut the **** up. Gatti/Ward 1 was one of the greatest fights of the last 20 years. The other 2 were not as spectacular but still good fights. No one is saying it is the greatest trilogy ever, but show some respect. There was more action in that trilogy than in Mayweathers whole career, so **** off.

round 9 in the first fight alone had more action than all of floyds 40 pro fights :yep

Thats overrated as well ... two guys without knockout power,
they can punch themselves to 'almost' death, but death ain't coming.

vasquez and marquez don't have knockout power?
