Better fight: Robinson-Gatti 1 or Ward-Gatti 1

The Gatti-Ward trilogy gets all the attention. While it was an entertaining, if one-sided, trilogy with a great first fight, I thought some of other fights involving the two fighters (Wilson Rodriguez, Ivan Robinson 1-2, Gabriel Ruelas, Reggie Green, Emanuel Augustus, Shea Neary, Antonio Diaz) were better, and more closely contested, fights than the other 2 in the trilogy.

Anyway, would you pick Robinson-Gatti 1 or Ward-Gatti 1 as the better fight?

 

Gatti-Robinson and I don't think its even close. Gatti-Robinson 1 was a great fight. Gatti-Ward 1 is one of, if not THE most overrated fight ever.

 

Everything is "overrated" to you.

Still, I agree. Gatti Ward 1 was all about round 9 really. Gatti-Robinson 1 was a better fight overall.

Same with Hagler-Hearns actually. The "fight" is overrated...round 1 is where the great action and ebb and flow were....after that it was a Hagler domination. Trinidad Vargas is a better overall fight than Hagler-Hearns, for example.

 

Robinson/Gatti definitely a better fight

9th round of Ward/Gatti was the most compelling live round IMO

 

gatti rodriguez was better than these mentioned

 

Hagler-Hearns is indeed an overrated fight.

GRANTED though, you don't see elite fighters lay it on the line like that anymore.

 

word

 

Except Ibeabuchi..........Ibeabuchi was REAL!

 

Hagler vs Hearns is an overrated fight.

Hagler vs Hearns ROUND 1 is a great, great, ATG round.

 

word. Nothing overrated about round 1.

 

I defy anyone to find a round like that first round in a fight between two truly elite, all time fighters ...

 

Hard to find fo sho...but I've got one!

Round 1 of the first Pryor-Arguello fight. Scintillating.

 

Some of the rounds in marcellus Johnson vs Rafael marquez 1

 

That's as close as it gets, agree

 

Both great fighters but I don't rank them in the same class as Hagler or Hearns, to be honest

 

Plus Johnson was past his best
