How good is Gatti?

gatti = bum What makes you say that Gar?? :confused: I mean with Gatti atleast you know what youre gonna get...a great fight! with some of your fav's (DLH and Jones) lately all we've gotten with them are shocks! I mean both of them are great fighters and technicians of the sport, but paying ppv to see either of them is less appealing to me than watchng Gatti for free; and 9 times out of 10 he's the one that would make that $50 price tag tolerable and most likely worth paying.

Brawling can only get you so far in a career. As far as Gatti goes...he lost to Angel Manfredy, what more can I say.. He lost to Manfredy because of a CUT! The fight was about even when it was stopped. You could have said THAT :D

gatti = bum

What's so ironic about this is before Gatti fought that "small" Dorin, according to the polls and opinions of the majority of the posters here, Gatti was gonna get his ass handed to him by Dorin. Now that he's beat him, and in good fashion, Dorin was "small", etc....The guy just cant win with some people apparently :rolleyes: Sooo true.

i totally agree and brawling will only get you so far......and that is why to date gatti has not beaten any big name (except for small dorin)......so when he steps up and fights the big names, he will be put back in his place.........

I think Gatti cheats himself allot of the time. I remember him boxing excellent against Tracy harris patterson some years back and he nearly shut out Micky Ward in their second encounter. Thing is Gatti loves to brawl rather than box and this has cost him over the years. I think if Gatti Boxed in fights, notably against Robinson, Manfredy and the first ward fight, he might have avoided defeat because these guys aren`t really great boxers. Not to say Gatti is but he can box well when he chooses to!

gatti is just that Good he can take a lot and dish it out but skills wise, hes nothin miraculous hes justa good solid fighter a solider fighter with one punch power which makes him a lil more of a threat but not becuz hes some superb boxer

gotti isnt that good...his fights are just exciting..put him in with a guy like cotto or tszyu..and youll see how he folds I agree. He's exciting to watch, but won't be able to beat Tzsyu, Cotto or PBF.

Gatti isn't going to have much of a chance against folks like Mayweather, Tsyzu or, were he to move up again, against Spinks. Especially Floyd Jr. and Cory would really out box him. KT would be fun to watch, although I am undecided if he would be stopped by cuts or one of KT's on target power shots. I imagine gatti vs tszyu would be like the 2nd sharmba fight or the de la hoya vs gatti fight.

If you've seen Matthew Saad Muhammad, you've seen Arturo Gatti.

gotti isnt that good...his fights are just exciting..put him in with a guy like cotto or tszyu..and youll see how he folds Arum wants Cotto in with Gatti sooooooooooo bad, that would be a complete destruction of the "phenom" of Gatti and a new star would be born and Arum knows that. Cotto's style is exciting and appealing to the public...If that fight would come off we would have a new goldenboy.

mcgirt has improved him a lot. im impressed with him a lot more tthan i used to be. before he was just a brawler, now he can mix it up. he uses the jab a lot more. his savaging of dorin was an impressive display. His shot against Dorin was probably if not one of the best body shots of all time that my eyes have witnessed, but I wouldn say that shot was because of boxing ability a shot like that could have landed in a brawl.

Oh, okay, I could have sworn it was you that posted that long ago. :o My bad, but I sent karma anyway (which you might wanna bank..theives are amok ;) ) Thanks for the heads up, I need to spread around some before you can get some......

No not at all, Gatti gets is grade A when it comes to being a class act, I dont like Gatti's style, a brawl is good to see but I love the technique of boxing and everytime Gatti has faced a guy who actually boxed with him he had lost, Gatti is a true warrior in the ring and a complete gentleman out but he doesnt possess much boxing ability in the deep division he is in. I dont like his style and any true boxer who boxes him defeats him.

You've posted before that you hated Gatti, and thats cool...ya know, to each his own (and I tried to give ya karma anyway but have maxed out :( ) but I'm curious as to why? If you dont mind sharing, that is. Did he say something in an interview that didnt sit well with you? Has he avioded someone and you lost respect or something? I'm just curious cause the few fighters that I despise like that it's always cause of their conceit and arrogance. Thats my pet-peeve...but Gatti has never come across that way to me. So, whats yours..just curious? ;) No not at all, Gatti gets is grade A when it comes to being a class act, I dont like Gatti's style, a brawl is good to see but I love the technique of boxing and everytime Gatti has faced a guy who actually boxed with him he had lost, Gatti is a true warrior in the ring and a complete gentleman out but he doesnt possess much boxing ability in the deep division he is in.
