I think if Ward had gotten better training early on he could have been and true contender and not a journeyman as it turned out. I think if Gatti and Ward were the same age Ward schools Gatti 2 out of 3. Ward was 7 years older for god sakes. I wish I could see that fight with both of them @ the age of 28. Ward brought a much needed breath of fresh air into the sport. Gatti and him were made for each other like no other fighters ever have been

To be quite honest I don't think Ward gets the props that Gatti gets for that trilogy and your right most of the conversations evolving around the trilogy lean towards or end up as Gatti conversations.
I will say it might have to do with that whole, broken arm, swolen face, down on the canvas thing that tends to happen when Gattin fights.
Just a thought, but good point on your part.
