    It get's over shadowed by the Ward vs Gatti fights, Ward's fight against Green was another good one no one talks about.

    My favorite "hidden gem" fight. It's absolutely incredible and constantly overlooked because Ward's next fight was Gatti I.

    How is it not mentioned when it got the Ring Magazine fight of the year award? You must be living in the a cave if it's the first time u hear of it or see it.

    Are you kidding? This fight gets brought up all the time by the boxing fans around here - it's the humanoids in the general forum that don't know anything about boxing that never speak of it.

    Such an awesome fight, definitely under appreciated because of how it was just before Ward-Gatti I.
