Arturo Gatti To Come Out Of Retirement Again?

Thats how it usually is on NSB. You know, people thinking they are true fans, and knowledgeable about the sport, because they back average fighters. I mean, I must not know shit about the sport, since I can appreciate greatness, right? A better way to put it is... That's how it usually is on NSB. Everyone is ****ing stupid. :boxing:

As a massive Gatti fan I would be devestated if he got back in the ring. THe man has taken so much punishment and needs a rest. Co-signed.

Johnny Rebel has Ricky Hatton better than everyone in the sport except for #1 Calzaghe and #2 Pacquiao. The fact that Pacquaio is #2 makes me lose all faith in his rankings. But, really? Pavlik, Margarito, Marquez, Vazquez, etc.? None of them are better than a Ricky Hatton who lost badly to Mayweather and almost got KO'd by Lazcano? I don't understand that shit at all.

Listen, I think you are going to be in the vast minority of people, considering how much credit you give to boxers just for trying hard and fighting the best. Most people are interested in wins. It's also shocking that you say De La Hoya is lesser because of the fights he is picking right now. Yes, these fights are ****ing lame, clearly, but... De La Hoya fought the best in his prime: 1 loss Chavez P4P #1 Whitaker Undefeated Quartey Undefeated Trinidad One Loss Vargas Undefeated Mosley 2 loss Mosley Undefeated Sturm P4P #1 Hopkins (I think this was after Tarver-Jones 2) Undefeated P4P #1 Mayweather Jr. Unlike Gatti, he actually won a few of those fights. He was ranked P4P #1 at one point in his career too. I also think it is hilarious that you try to tell me that Gatti and Ward are good, and Wladimir Klitschko is a bum. Klitschko is dominating the christ out of everyone he fights in the division, and yeah, they aren't the best that he is fighting, but they are the best available, and he is dominating them. No complaints from me. I really just think you are mixing up the clear separation of good and entertaining. I gotta agree with the Klitschko part. I hate his robotic style but he is the most dominating HW i've seen since well ever, but that as somewhat to do with how weak the division is.

just for the record, this was posted a few weeks back and the rumors were, in a nutshell, debunked. gatti is not planning on making a comeback. he was quoted out of context.

Does Gatti even care about his health??? i respect him for having been a good fighter but man he would be stupid to comeback unless he just really really really needs the money! The guy has been in so many wars and received some horrible ass whoopings that the guy is walking down a real thin line he should just stay retired and not risk anything!

yeah man im starting to realize that, its pretty stupid, im a big fan of Ricky Hattan as well, and alot of people on these boards underate him Johnny Rebel has Ricky Hatton better than everyone in the sport except for #1 Calzaghe and #2 Pacquiao.

This is NSB and the only "good" fighters are the ones who's nuts the posters are swinging from. Every other fighter is a "bum, overrated, never fought anybody, never fought anybody his size, never fought a prime fighter or a Euro bum" etc... yeah man im starting to realize that, its pretty stupid, im a big fan of Ricky Hattan as well, and alot of people on these boards underate him

Gatti is completely shot. His one sided beating loss to Alfonzo Gomez proves that. He should stay in retirement.

Maybe you are so familiar with the word overrated because you have a guy at P4P #3, who, in his last two fights, lost by KO, and got ****ing rocked by a good lightweight who hasn't proven anything at 140. Your view of Ricky Hatton is overrating Ricky. And most of the guys that are in the P4P top 10 have more losses than Hatton. Hatton got stunned for a split second in a fight he won every round. Hatton is underrated by most due to a loss to some bum at 147...

did you see the Micky Ward and Gatti fights? the first right was scored really close, and Micky fought the fight of his life, i guess now your going to go on about how Micky Ward sucked too right?

Hell no Gatti. You're done. Let it go or get permanently injured.

do i think he can win a few more fights??? yes. do i think he can make a comeback to win a notable title? no. his best days have past... i still think he can win some fights but not against the top of a division. i'd like to see him give a proper farewell fight in which he wins...

So you are saying that Oscar is damaging himself by fighting on way past his prime instead of retiring? That doesn't make much sense to me. By fighting Pacquiao now, his win over Quartey means less? By going after Hatton after that, his wins over Whitaker and Chavez go to hell? No sir, not buying it. Also, the Klitschko jab is the best in the business. He's clearly a really good fighter, with no one to fight to prove it. It's pretty irritating for him to be honest. im saying oscar is damaging himself because hes not going out with a bang, i dont like how hes ending his career, i would of loved to see Mayweather and Oscar number 2, im not saying his other fights mean less, hes just not fulfilling his career like he should be, he should be going for Margs, Or Williams or even Cotto, he said he wont face Mrgs because hes mexican, thats retarded, as far as Klitchko goes hes a clown, and a decent boxer at best

i know Ward, and Gatti were not worldclass, all im saying is that they had some of the best boxing matches i have ever seen, and never gave up and are good for boxing, like you can call De La Hoya world class, but hes a clown to boxing in my books, same with Klitchko

i know De La Hoya fought the best in his prime, but he is not considered great to me because hes fighting all little guys now, if he was great he would be fighting Margs, or Williams, hes just in it for the money now, a great fighter to me is someone who fight the best no matter what, and who is good for boxing. Dont get me started on Klitschko though he is a bum, hes dominating everyone because theres no one good, f*ck i would bet all my points that George Foreman could come back in his old age and knock Klitchko out loool, i just wish there was a decent heavyweight out there, because if there was Klitchko would get knocked out in the first round So you are saying that Oscar is damaging himself by fighting on way past his prime instead of retiring?

Credit to you for taking the time to respond to that mess that mess. Cue the ****ing Jadakiss music: Ignore the video, it's immaterial to the message trying to be spread.

Jesus God no!!!! Stay retired Arturo! PLEASE stay retired!!!!!
