For example, when they made "Ali" with Will Smith and didn't include the rest of the trilogy with Frazier or him winning the title for a third time I understood because it was done properly in the movie.
The thing is the Gatti trilogy is probably the most important thing in Micky Wards career! It made him something of a superstar.
I feel the same way. Whereas a fighter like Ali has too many pivotal moments inside the ring and outside of it.
Ward without those 3 great fights with Gatti, wouldn't be that known or at all besides a few hardcore boxing fans. But to the casual boxing fans and hardcore fans he's known for those fights.
Ask yourself this, would Ward be known for anything else if not for the Gatti fights?
