    Ward fought on the undercard of Hagler vs Leonard.

    Brenner hailed him as 'The best New Engalnd prospect since Marvin Hagler'

    Did any of you guys see him what did you think?

    What went wrong for him?

    Never saw that fight but I wish I had.

    If you read the book about Mickey's life, "Irish Thunder" it explains some of the craziness that went on especially with Mickey's family. I think he had a fine career though and I would put him in my personal HOF.
