Sumarizing:
He was found dead on an apartment here in Brazil. HE was ina honeymoon with his wife. And he celebrated Acelino Freitas birthday days ago.
The investigations have already started
In past couple weeks there have been so many celebrity deaths, I joke with my friends who would be next. Names liek Amy Winehouse come up, but not in a million yars would I have precited Gatti. RIP, your insiring legacy in the ring will never be forgot.
Arturo Gatti will always live large in my memories. He had the biggest heart I've ever seen in any man. The true definition of never giving up and actually being able to turn a fight around. I pray he rest's in peace and finds happiness in the after life.
My god i cant believe this...im just absolutely shocked..im like a BILLION TIMES more of a michael jackson than i am arturo gatti fan..
i havent shed a single tear for jackson..
and i cant stop crying thinkin about gatti..
Im a probably one of the biggest Gatti fans on this site..
I really think it was drug related..
He has a partying past..
I am crying right now..
RIP Gatti.. Your my favorite of all time and thanks for the great memories that will last a life time..
I cant stop tearing...
Im crying guys..
This is the man who brought me to boxing, and although i dont know him perosonally, I felt like i did.
I cant believe this shit man.. Its absolutely rediculious..
I love this guy and my prayers go out to his wife and baby girl sophia
im from brazil, i can say that its very dangerous to take vaccations there, then again gatti dont know that since he dont got a brain from being hit with bricks his hole career.
I can't believe you're still green after posting this.
I'll start the red ball rolling...
I hate it when somebody struggles their way right to the top putting their heart on the table dies in such a matter.
I feel that he has been robbed, Gatti as a boxer would have put his body through so much pain, now is the time where he should be able to relax, lay back and enjoy life but he can't because some low life goons who believe on living off of other people's hard work chose to take his life. I'm seriously pissed off about this.
I know the dead can't feel anything, but it just angers me so much as shit like this genuinely makes me question the point of putting your blood and sweat into things.
I'm so gutted. Words cannot describe it. The strongest heart in the world stopped beating today. Rest in peace Arturo.
Arturo will always be the measuring stick when we talk about a fighters heart. He is the ultimate pure guts warrior I have seen in my lifetime.
Brazil is a pretty rough place when you don't belong there.. Homacides are frequent, and life is considered pretty cheap.. This is very upsetting.. I was hungry 30 minutes ago.. Now I'm just empty.. RIP to a GREAT RING WARRIOR... I don't know what else to say....
