Ward has stated several times in recent interviews that he would fight 2 more fights. One of which was the second Gatti fight, if he woulda won he would have most probably recieved a title shot against Kostya Tszyu.
So a 3rd Gatti fight is inevitable, it might be both fighters biggest paydays. Both recieved their biggest paydays for this last fight.
Ward's word is bong, he is not like most fighters. He will never be caught saying a bad word about any fighter, even if they bad mouth him. If you watched the fight you saw he got hit with a lot of low blows but never complained, most fighters woulda bitched. He respects all fighters and his fans, he is a class act and one Hell of a fighter. Even in his losses he leaves an impression, you know a mickey ward fight, that's why even with double digit losses on his record he gets mad respect.
I feel bad that he got screwed last year by Jessie James Leija. Ward was beating Leija and then their was a clash of heads and Leija pulled out of the fight and Ward lost the fight. Beating Leija woulda gotten ward a title shot. Then again he didn't get it and instead fought Gatti in his next fight, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Cause now he's a household name and got more money and exposure than he coulda expected.
