The best thing about Jim Lampley is that its clearly not for effect, his feelings are real. He did a podcast with Tris Dixon last year, and it took about 20 minutes before you could hear him getting a lump in his throat when talking about people like Roy Jones and George Foreman and Gatti/Ward.

I teared up showing this fight series to my 12 year old kid last week. You can literally teach life lessons to kids, just by showing these 3 fights. 2 warriors that just wouldn't stop, no matter what. Even Jim Lampley teared up talking about these fights.

[@SleezeJest]

I watched all 3 w my dad. Amazing. The part that always gets me is at the beginning of Gati Ward III, when they came out and smile and hugged at the top of the last round. Just incredible sportsmanship, and the best fight trilogy ever. (how did they not show that part in this video of highlights?!?!)

[@callmesceptical9114]

Had the privilege of meeting Ward not long after he retired. It was a small-time autograph session at a pub in Nashua NH. I was a much larger man at the time, probably 60 pounds heavier and in prime of my life. I’d had a few scuffles in my past and could throw, but I remember shaking his hand and thinking this guy would kick my ass in very short order. Humbling experience. He seemed such a kind gentleman. Anyway, his autographed photo has been on display in the man-cave ever since. ✌️

[@jtcash44]

Met him in Vancouver. Shook his hand and thought "those hands would crush me". But such a kind soul. He signed gloves that I gave to my dad. Ward is by far both of our's favourite fighter.

[@Salamitommy-d5m]

Lol not you using yourself as a comparison of how badass ward is. Of course he would smash u. Ur just a average Joe. Well I was big and won some street fights blah blah stfu lmfaoo

[@mattcauth]

I remember heading over to a friend's house to watch the first Ward Gatti fight. The plan was simple: drink a couple of beers and watch a (hopefully) good fight. By round 3 or so we knew we were watching history and that these guys were just cut different from the others. We were standing up, screaming at the top of our lungs at all the insane exchanges these guys got into. We were totally blown away, and to this day it's probably the single best sporting event I've ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal - there's just nothing like these two in my book.

[@NeoPR95]

I've always loved Jim Lampleys passion when talking about the sport.

[@jackflash8218]

Such a great, simple display of how impactful the sport can be. Jim wasn't directly involved. None of us were. It was between two individuals. But what was shown in the contest... what was laid bare, in visceral fashion... is what, potentially, ANY individual can be capable of. The will to "walk through fire", the will to endure any hardship or obstacle without losing the drive to keep trying. Damn fk'n right, it brings a tear to the eye.

[@MichaelHaley-vv2pr]

Yep Lampley really adds to the whole experience. Class act

The emotion when Jim talks about round 9. The tears. Just amazing. And then to have Ward be a cornerman for Gatti years later. And for Ward to be inducted into the boxing hall of fame and give tribute to Gatti who by then had been murdered. Amazing how they were both so connected to each other. Beautifully barbarically lovely.

[@DepressionShaman]

When two men go to war in the ring, it often develops a huge level of respect between the two. So that isn't surprising. Louis and Schmelling, Tunney and Dempsey, Hagler and Hearns, AJ and Kiltschko. Even Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are friends now.

@@juanaranda2979 Oh, but when a 36-year-old Floyd SMOKED Canelo, people said that "Canelo was too young."🤣 Let me set you straight... NO VERSION OF Gatti would be able to beat any version of Floyd. Even a prime Gatti would have gotten DEMOLISHED by the 36-year-old Floyd that schooled Canelo.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@Jamee-jg7qr I beg to differ. Watch him fight Canelo. Floyd stood in the pocket and controlled the center of the ring. And he forced Canelo to retreat on many, many occasions. Forced him against the ropes and into the corner. And this is against CANELO, a much bigger fighter. On fight night, Floyd weighed 149-lbs. Canelo weighed 164-lbs. Even after breaking his hands, Floyd has enough power to force you to respect him. That is why Canelo could NOT simply walk through Floyd's punches. Watch that fight - you'd think a bull like Canelo would just walk Floyd down. But he could not. He had to respect Floyd's power, even if Floyd isn't known for power. But he has enough power to force fighters to respect it.

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y Saying Floyd could knock both of therm out really shows how much of a casual you are, Floyd is literally known to have feather fists and no power, he's closer to a volume puncher rather than a power puncher. Both Gatti & Ward would easily take his power without question, also this is what modern day boxing is lacking, people are too scared to go to war and will happily dance around throwing a couple punches every now and then with 0 plan to actually engage.

[@2313rafa]

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y He is a very sharp, witty fighter, but he rarely stepped inside the ring with a legitimate threat. A threat that would make him not look as good as he always does. I just think he could have fought people in his division and 154 when he had that belt against the likes of Paul Williams, Erislandy Lara. You know fighters that wouod test his true skill. But it is fair that he didn't make those fights because the money would have never been there. For many years the welterweight division had real threats. I just think that floyd has a history of taking fights that he know he can win. And I think that affected his legacy. When he fought Zab Judah, he was tested. When he fought Marcos Maidana, he was truly tested and rightfully won the fight. But in that fight, did you notice how he was struggling to figure it out? He eventually did, which gave me a glimpse of what he is truly capable of. But those fights were never really there. He has big names under his belt, but a lot of those were past their prime or had a style that Mayweather knew how to pick apart. I think a lot of boxing fans don't really honor his legacy, and I think it is because he never made an impression on people all these years. Muhammad Ali is a great example of leaving an everlasting impression in the ring. Years after he is gone he is remembered. Maybe it also didn't help that people didn't really like his personality either, so it harmed what people think of him. It's kind of sad, the reality of his career.

I've never taken a liver shot, but I think I feel at least a little of what he feels, bc when I feel pain, if it's intense enough, like getting hit or smashing my finger between weights or something, I feel a burning rage that makes the pain completely go away.

The third contest gets me every single time. Gatti throwing his right hand with only his middle & distal parts of his hand while still unable to block is borderline delusional. I wouldn’t ask anyone to go through that war but I’m happy to have witnessed it while it happened

That first fight was absolutely epic. Haven't seen a fight like it since. That's a once in a century fight.

Greatest trilogy in history

[@mlgerab]

1st fight: Perhaps the best ever. 2nd: Entertaining but not competitive. 3rd: Very good but not very close.

[@roberthuttle]

Incredible, among the best fights I've seen

@@solomongrim982doesn’t matter, he’s right

[@WatTyler-fy3pv]

Worse, worser, WORSTED! He ain’t wrong.

One evening I was clicking through the channels and happened upon the 2nd fight. When it was over I realized I just witnessed one of the best fights in boxing.

[@mikemike5973]

Simply incredible get goose bumps watching

[@davidvallone1476]

Absolutely one of the very Very best fights I've ever seen. Guts beyond compare

[@thanefalkner6156]

Great video. I was 22 WvG-1. I dont think there will ever be a greater set of matches as these.

[@Matt-nn9mv]

I was a teen when I saw this fight. It will always be the best round of boxing I ever witnessed. Not because of the skill involved, but because of the display of will. I never saw a boxer take so much abuse and refuse to quit. The liver shot would have ended anyone else...but watching gatti get back up and then also have his own flash of offense was arguably the best moment of the human spirit I've ever seen. RIP Warrior

[@chris379202]

This just made my day , thank you!!!!!!

[@rogerarmstrong8893]

The greatest fights in boxing history the two absolute warriors

[@russsprague972]

This is the pinnacle of boxing. The trilogy that made me obsessed to never get anything comparable again.

[@jamesrobert4106]

I watched them at the time. That first fight is one of the all time great fights. Simply extraordinary will, grit and fortitude from both men.
