i am a huge fan of arturo gatti...on my personal 5 favroites list...but not on my pound for pound list...i have mayweather at number two on my P.F.P. behind bernard hopkins...if gatti wins saturday...which i believe he will do...where will he be ranked on the P.F.P. list...
at number two ?
WHO beats ANYBODY of high caliber today...today as in 2005...not 1985
Morales had a nice win over Pac.
Corrales had a good one over castillo, as bitter as I was.
Hatton just beat Tszyu
How about Winky beating Trinidad?
Hopkins will beat a good fighter in Taylor.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. There has been a bunch of great fights already this year and theres a lot more to come.
Fat chance on that one, he isnt even in my top 20 p4p. There are to many fighters out there that have achieved more than a possible Mayweather win. Perhaps if Gatti dominated 140 beating Harris,Hatton,Mayweather than sure why not. But he hasnt done anything and a win over Mayweather doesnt cut it.
Are you kidding? If gatti beats mayweather that would be a phenomenal achievement. He should be in the top 10 pfp definitely if that happened... but it won't happen.
it aint a matta of who you lost to. Its a matta of yer big wins.
Castillo, lost to many fightas aswell, but he still on ma P4P list ye know?
if peeps put Hatton on their list of P4P, then it would be ridiculous not to give P4P honors to Gatti if he beats Mayweatha cuz Mayweatha ranks HIGHER than Tszyu! That jest it!
but then again, there's a WIN, and then there's a BIG WIN!
If Gatti beats Mayweatha convincingly, PUNISH HIM, HURT HIM, don't give him a chance then shyt, Ima put him in my list no doubt!
But then again, THAT IS ONE TASK TO ACCOMPLISH, but it aint impossible.
Listen up Gatti Fans...
Who gives a shit where he will land on the p4p list...
If Arturo can somehow pull off a win against Floyd it will be as big a boxing comeback as I have ever seen in boxing. Gatti has had a career resurection like no other fighter I have ever seen adn if he can beat arguably p4p the best fighter in the world and certainly the most gifted fighter in the world Arturo will have thrown away the "Im just an entertaining fighter" stigma...he will have become a great fighter so fuck the p4p shit, this fight is for elite status in terms of his career.
How can a fighter take huge beatings in the ring, lose to most of the top guys he has ever fought and then someone come back later on with a few more boxing skills and all of a sudden beat the most talented fighter on the planet?
I dont think Gatti is going to win this fight but I have gotten more and more excited as the fight approaches, I will be rooting my ass of for Arturo and if he does pull this fight out then who cares about the p4p that is irrelevant...what will be relevant is that Arturo Gatti will not be just a great action fighter any longer he will be a great fighter period.
read closely you...
CALM THE FUCK DOWN...
if gattin wins? very very big if my friend i really dont see that happening so you shouldnt worrry about ranking him anywhere
i don't think it's a big a if as you seem to think...and it's not something i worry about...i just posted a thread on an internet message board...no wars were stopped because of it...no children were fed...
people just need to answer the damn question for once...
Agreed, Gatti hasnt BEATEN anyone of note or of high caliber. If so I would love to hear people say who?
I expect Mayweather to maul this guy worst than DLH did.

I really hope youre kidding. You actually think that arturo gatti belongs on the P4P list. What has he done, other then the ward gatti trilogy. He lost almost all his big fights. Angel manfredy stopped him on cuts, De la hoya beat him so bad that gatti's corner threw in the towel, even ivan robinson beat him. But the thing to me that sticks out is that he got beat by king solomen. Who???? exactly.
Its not that i question his heart, but i do question how good he really is. He is a fighter with marketability. Everyone loves a fighter that stands there and goes to war. But when that fighter cant beat the elite, he is just another run of the mill fighter whos only true skill is being a punching bag that punches back.
did you read the part where i said he is one of my FAVORITES but NOT on my PFP list...don't jump the gun on me homey...i just asking a question...
we're also talking about a sport that isn't what it used to be in terms of great fighters up and down the board...
i am a huge fan of arturo gatti...on my personal 5 favroites list...but not on my pound for pound list...i have mayweather at number two on my P.F.P. behind bernard hopkins...if gatti wins saturday...which i believe he will do...where will he be ranked on the P.F.P. list...
at number two ?
He wont be on it. Dont forget even though its a great win for him he still has losses to guys like Angel manfredy and Ivan Robinson. He also struggled badly with 2nd rate guys like Micky Ward and Joe Hutchinson.
Just because a guy has one good win it doesn't mak ehim p4p he needs to prove his worth over time.

Nicely put :)
when looking at who the guys have beaten, remember that really doesnt mean as much as you think
hatton's opponents losses-353
tszyus opponents losses-118, and he beat many fc's
think about dat
if Gatti wins he should be proclaimed #1 pound for pound all time!
but that's the problem, he's got NO CHANCE on Saturday, Floyd's gonna dominate, take the WBC strap, and spit in Arturo's eye afterwards
Hopefully Floyd has some salt in his mouth and Gatti has a cut.
:D
You must just be saying that to piss off the people that really understand boxing. Cause that is the dumbest shit anyone has said on a thread in a while.
people that "really understand boxing" know that Gatti has been beating up chumps and has-beens for a long time, he's 0-4 vs. guys who know how to box, jab, & counter (Manfredy, Robinson x2, Oscar)
if Gatti wins he should be proclaimed #1 pound for pound all time!
but that's the problem, he's got NO CHANCE on Saturday, Floyd's gonna dominate, take the WBC strap, and spit in Arturo's eye afterwards

I dont think many put Hatton into their top 10. If Gatti can beat Mayweather he'll have my respect but people will just say Gatti was too big for Mayweather, get ready for the excuses if he wins.
I already said the only way Gatti will win is if he roughs Mayweathers feathers and use his size to an advantage. I wont throw that into the bag of arguments but it is well known Gatti is a much larger man than Mayweather. Mayweather looks like a featherweight.
But that is like saying well Floyd is faster than Gatti so that puts him at a disadvantage. No excuses for whoever loses.

I'm sorry, as much as I want Gatti to win, not gonna happen.

I'll bet my signature on that..
