Sharmba Mitchell vs Aruto Gatti

there is absolutely no need for this fight, both these guys need to call it a career. there is no sense in it at all, neither guy is ever going to be in contention for another belt, and they're risking premanant injury. where are these guys advisors and loved ones, people who care for them on a personal level and who look out for their best interest? because at this point the only reason to be fighting is for money, it certainly isnt for the glory because there is none in a fight like this. they're just trying to get another payday before they go away, sad.

Espn is gay now....Gatti is too old and Espn for the most part only show prospects. Versus Network is actually better now with better fights.

I'd pick Sharmba if they fought.

wow some boxing fans are dumb, of course both are shot duh mothafuckas we know that! But since they are shot and still hanging on i rather see them in a great fight aginst 1 another, then tryin to fight the heir apparents to the division! Dude if you are boxing fan and have box in you life, then you understand clearly why this would be sad day for boxing.....to shot fighters tryig to basically incapacite each other for the rest of their life, exactly what we need in boxing ..just another tragedy...great!! Yeap you are a boxing fan...:nonono:

Maybe you're right. Perhaps it would be best for Gatti to try for the New Jersey State Golden Gloves.. he is pro man! :D Hearns is still fightin and even Duran and it didnt spoil the reputation but those guys like Gatti Duran and many other boxers the only know how to fight it like the Rocky movie in Rocky 3 or something. if Gatti wants to contiune he cant fight some top prospect like Williams or Callzo or something and not for a world title belt like the WBC, IBF...etc but he fcould fight like NABD belt or something like that if he wants to contuine to fight but other than that it better for him to retire

anyway any one would be cool but maybe sometime when the time of the year is not so busy but Sharmba and Gatti should estabilish themself by fighting some regional title holders Maybe you're right. Perhaps it would be best for Gatti to try for the New Jersey State Golden Gloves..

I hate to burst your bubble, Mas. I can see you have this all established... Gatti can still outsell most of the guys on HBO's roster, ok? You think Atlantic City doesn't care anymore? You think we have nothing better to do?... If Gatti fights again it ain't gonna be on ESPN. anyway any one would be cool but maybe sometime when the time of the year is not so busy but Sharmba and Gatti should estabilish themself by fighting some regional title holders

Gatti credibility as a fighter is abit loss so he has to estabilsh some ground for him. If he fought at HBO he wont be on the main event or even fighter before before it. To make it simplier for them to make the match up ESPN is a good choice IMO. I hate to burst your bubble, Mas. I can see you have this all established...

What would make you think Gatti would have to fight on ESPN? You can't shamefully banish him there, Mas. HBO will have Gatti back ANYTIME. Gatti could fill Boardwalk Hall TOMORROW against the janitor. Gatti credibility as a fighter is abit loss so he has to estabilsh some ground for him.

fucking a he could! ..arturo gatti is the boardwalk lol they should paint a picture of him in a boxing stance on the board walk it self so people will know where they're at!

what do you think this match up looks like intersting. I think it should be done at 2007 on espn What would make you think Gatti would have to fight on ESPN? You can't shamefully banish him there, Mas. HBO will have Gatti back ANYTIME. Gatti could fill Boardwalk Hall TOMORROW against the janitor.

this fight will be one of those fights that looks good only because its one bad dude agianst another you'll either get a boxing clinic by mitchell which will lead him to another beating by a top guy or! an electrifiying ko that'll have gatti thinking its 99 all over agian

Id like to see both retire to be honest but if they insist on fightin its best they stick to fighters of their own current ability, ie, each other! Id probably pick Gatti

I disagree with you guys about being shot. Gatti lost to the best fighter in the world and a very good fighter in Baldy that was just too big. Gatti still fought well in that fight. Just because you get beat doesnt mean you shot. Its not like he lost to bums. Mitchell maybe shot as he looks lost at times but he too recently only lost to the elite. He too lost to the best guy around, lost to the great Tszyu, and lost to a 12 foot tall up & coming monster. I dont know if its fair to say these guys are done, espically Gatti. However, if they fought I would favor Mitchell but its a 55/45 thing. I still think Gatti could give alot of top guys a run for there money. He would give Cotto a much better fight then you guys think and so would Baldy. I think it better for them to fight each other or a prospect that hold some regional belts rather than world titles. it would be good pay day for them and we all want excitment and competitive fight rather than slaughtered one.

If this fight happens it will be sad. Two former good fighters fighting each other when both are terribly worn down. This fight would be sad truely sad.

Their boxing careers have already peaked and have gone back down to a non recoverable status in my opinion... I would rather see a different fight, especially some new prospect. Ok let me defined it for you: Shot fighter: one that has lost its ability to assimilate punishment....

yes they are shot but would you bring a hunrgy prospect to destroy them. i think i want to see a competitive fight with excitment and i think this fight will be exciting. i first though about Corely vs Sharmba but corely is on 140
