Man, I just keep imaging what would happen if these 2 went at it. I'd probably go with a Cotto by late stoppage though until that happens, MAN! I can only imagine a crazy gun fight after seeing Cotto-Torres. Though Gatti is a lot older now, do you think he can ever even get back into those wars? I would just love to see these 2 trade bombs with each other and see what happens. Knowing Gatti's crazy weakness to bodyshots, I wouldn't see him going to the end. It's a dreamfight though :boxing:
WHO THE F*&^$ IS WARD?
Ward is a nobody and he gave Gatti a helluva lot of hard time!
How many times must this be discussed...
Gatti went to war with a nobody... what does that make Gatti...?
Whats w/ this hate of Ward?? Ward gets big time respect from big time fighters including Gatti, Zab Judah, and Emanuel Augustus. Judah said Ward was the biggest victory of his career including one of the hardest fights he ever fought.
As for the Gatti - Cotto showdown. Its not goin to happen. Gatti is welterweight, while Cotto is at 140. Do I think Gatti could win this fight?? Yes, but not easily Cotto would land some big shots, shots Gatti doesnt need to take anymore at this point in his career. IMO a prime Gatti would walk through Cotto. Gatti's thunder would be too much for a weak chinned Cotto evnthough he has heart hes been hurt by Corely and whoever fought him 2 weeks ago, and in the Corely fight Cotto outweighed him by 20 pounds. SO Gatti would hurt Cotto and would know how to finish him, hell besides Maussa, Cotto is the nxt weakest link at 140, if Malignaggi could stay healthy (which doesnt look good, I thought Paulie coulda beaten him in a year and a half from now.
But back to Gatti I dont think he can truely beat any top contenders at 147 w/out seriously hurting himself in the long run, if he could beat any of them at all. But who knows, we've doubt Gatti numerous times before in the past and he has proven us wrong each time, so I can could never truely count Arturo out.
Demarcus = Almost a KO (Always a dangerous punher)
Torres = Almost a KO (Check out the stunning records of his opponents)
Gatti = Cotto finally gets his over-hyped azz handed to him by a real figher. Keep callin Gatti worn out, it will make your boy Cotto look like a bigger joke when hes starin up at the lights from the canvas.
Gatti beats him, Hatton simply destroys him.
Gatti is a c+ fighter and Cotto is a b fighter so it'll be close in the first 2 rounds then cotto will knock gatti out....gatti is too old for his style of boxing..he is very slow and gets cut too easy...he should retire...i like Gatti but he is on the downslope of his career...just like roy jones...
Wtf!?
Is that your crabby in the avatar? Wtf buddy!?
Shit...that's a really smart statement. Carlos Arroyo is Kobe too right? I wonder how much he likes riding the bench. Maybe if the guy could shoot over 30% he would actually play more then 8-10 mins a game.
oh shyt.....
First of all, Gatti-Cotto wouldn't be the mismatch everyone thinks it would be. Gatti is by no means an all time great, but he does have skills, can take a punch, and has a decent amount of pop in his mitts. I say it would be a tough fight for both.
With respect to your amount of posts, every fighter has a 50% chance of dying in the ring, don't post stupid comments like that. I'm going with being killed out of the equation just as anyone else would when they think of really cool match ups. :mad: That's like saying, and you think I want Gatti to die? Not cool.
dont be an asswhole, look at the circumstances fool, look at how much punishment gatti has taken in his career, i was impling that, i know every fighter ahs a chance of dying, but i think gatti's is much higher with the fact that cotto hits very very hard and gatti has no defence. Not cool
The Hatton fight could be good although I really hope Hatton doesn't try his smother shit on Cotto. Personally it's a boring style. It's similar to Ruiz and Wlad's recent outting. Sure, it's a strategy that is effective, though it is dull as hell. As long as Cotto keeps Hatton from nut hugging him all night, he should be able to KO Hatton with his harder shots.
um.................gatti only looked bad against Floyd cause it was such a mismatch in speed, gatti and cotto however, I gotta give to gatti. I just don't see cotto taking the kind of punishment ala gatti/ward
Actually Gatti looked like shit against Oscar De La Hoya too. And Branco, and even (mentally tormented) Ruelas which imo is his career defining fight and he was young then he didnt look that good.
So i guess what im saying is i dont want to see Gatti catch another bad beating.
Why? i dont wanna see gatti die in the ring u tool

cotto by brutal sodomization ... gatti is so done ... actually even if he weren't SHOT cotto would STILL dehumanize him ala delahoya/mayweather. cotto by crazy FUKKEN HIDEOUS body attack and he ends the gatti marketing train once and for all.
