Fight is on January 28, 2006
We all know Gatti is overated, who knows anything about Thomas Damgaard, even though hes undefeated, he looks like a overated protected fighter from his Record and opponents and opponents won loss records. Who should win and does anybody care about this fight
No, it dosn't.
It proves he has a fan base and people are willing to pay to watch him fight because it's exciting.
Sure PBF was gonna destroy him, but we have all seen gatti in a war and PBF might have been in for a big shock if Gatti came to war.This is a link that will show you the P4P (top 25)all divisions rankings, look at Gattis overated rating, then look at the ratings
Hes rated 25th overall, ahead of Roy Jones, Vitali, Mayorga, Wlad, Freitas, Casamayor, I.Chi, C.Hernandez, Vargas, Jesus Chavez, Joe Calzaghe, Glenn Johnson, M.Cotto, Margarito, J.Arce, L.Brewster, F.Sturm and i can keep going

Arturo Gatti is overated as hell
he was overrated simply by being put into a pay per veiw fight, he is a journeyman, and the fact that he was put into a ppv shows that he is, or was overrated

true, but at the same time irrevelant, you neglected to comment on whether or not gatti is overrated...
No I don't think gatti is overrated. Anyone who knows anything bout boxing would predict he looses to the more sound technical boxer.
I chose dlh and PBF to beat him, anyone else who thought otherwise was because of them being part of his die hard fan base. Even a lot of guys who love Gatti, I included, can predict when he looses and admit to it. Overrated? hardly.
At least Gatti brings it everytime and comes to fight.
And even when he gets outclassed the man steps up to it.
He is fucking fighting again and look at PBF and Hatton and all these fuck heads, they havn't even signed the deal.
I like gatti because he brings me a boxing match not shit talking money grubbing 2 year process fight.
I look forward to watching him fight because I know it's gonna be a fight and someone is gonna get KTFO. He is good for boxing journeyman or not.

All that you said is true, Problems i have with Hatton and Floyd, they never take on all comers, Gatti is known for giving his heart out when he fights but It just bothers me to seeing people call this guy a very good fighter, Hes a average fighter with so much heart.
It would be interesting to see how Gatti will box at Welterweight since he has allways been big for the weight he was boxing in and this may not be so pronounced when stepping up.
I think Gatti will start as the favorite but Damgaard can pull of a surprise if he can return to the kind of form he was in a couple of years ago. Damgaard is a pressure fighter so this could really be a great fight if Damgaard still has it in him since it looks like his confidence perhaps isn't what it once was with the cancellation of the Urkal fight.
But i like Damgaard so i am going to make a little biased prediction with Damgaard to win by KO 10 :boxing:
Arturo Gatti is overated, he would have never gotten such a big fight with Mayweather if he wasnt overated, Mayweather and Gatti dont belong in the same ring, Gattis biggest win came 10 years ago vs Rafael Ruelas. Like PBF34 said, Gatti is clearly, clearly, clearly overated, Gatti is a superstar journeyman.

WRONG, many people were convinced that not only would gatti hand mayweather his first loss, that he would knock his ass out. they were wrong, and they clearly, cleary overrated gatti

correct GATTI was never overrated. Fans just love watching him. I love watching the guy fight but I never thought he was p4p material

"There is no deal at this time for Gatti to fight (Thomas) Damgaard. Damgaard is just one possible opponent on a list of many fighters that are being considered." - Main Events publicist, Donald Tremblay
appears to me Damgard is quite protected and Gatti may be a little overrated but he has been in there with pretty good opposition especially compared with Damgard.Never seen him fight tho so can't give a really good opinion I am going with Gatti to win UD or to lose on cuts or something thats fair I think.
i think thats a good predicition i agree i think gatti will take him decision, but like i said i hope gatti wins by brutal KO to get people talking again so judah can crush him.

Gatti
well since this shit will obviously be on HBO as a fucking main event, it better have a good undercard. maybe harris-maussa 2 since harris is with main events. i will say im very surprised that gatti would take on a guy like this who is undefeated when hes moving up to 147. anyway i hope gatti destroys him to get idiots talking again like they were before mayweather, so we can hear that he can ktfo of judah so they sign the fight and judah can crush him.
damgaard the chiken , he needed to fight urkal last night but he was scared offcource , the reason he was scared is becuz urkal beat him on a amateure championship in the country of damgaard in denmark with 20 - 1 . normaly it was 40 or 50 to 1 but the judges thaught 20 was enough .
i'd say at 147 because damgaard is a welterweight..........
he was supposed to fight for the european welterweight tile last night against oktay urkal, but of couse he pulled out of that fight a couple weeks prior........
he is more of a hyperchondriac than calzaghe is...
