Ward-Gatti is overrated

This is a subjective argument. Gatti- Ward is overrated to you. Those fights you listed are better to you. Someone may prefer Gatti- Ward to any of those fight you listed. Doesn't make them right or wrong.

 

Gatti-Ward Round 9 defines that fight.

 

It is overrated, two glorified club fighters beating the **** out of each other just doesn't interest me.

 

How many of those fights did you see live?

That makes a huge difference.

Pretty hard to get as excited about a fight when you know how it ends.

 

edit

 

Agreed, it is a very subjuective argument and there is the factor of whether or not you saw the fight live

 

True. But you have to admit they were very exciting bouts.

 

Gatti - Ward I is the most overrated fight of all time. And nobody is going to convince me otherwise. I mean overrated regarding how highly others rate it among their greatest fights.

Watch the first 5 rounds and you'll see Gatti boxing behind his jab, moving, and throwing in the odd right hand. Ward hardly gets off with any punches over the first half of the fight. Only during the second half of the fight does it catch fire. The 9th round was pure excitement and drama beyond belief.

A very good fight. But nowhere near Ali- Frazier III, Pryor-Arguello I, Holyfield-Bowe-I, Morales-Barrera I, and Corrales-Castillo I.

 

Club fighters is hardly descriptive of these two fighters!

 

Thus why I said 'glorified club fighters'.

You know, Lexus is a 'glorified toyota'.

 

Bernard Hopkins is overrated...

 

Joe Calzaghe was pretty much a club fighter before sharing rings with Lacy and Kessler. Dangerous matches on paper, not something Calzaghe was accustomed to prior to those fights happening.
