Arturo Gatti Hall of Fame inductee 2013

Arturo Gatti and Virgil Hill are two of the new inductees for class of 2013. Arturo "Thunder" Gatti didn't live to see his finest day. Gatti, who won world championships in two different weight classes, heads the class of 2013 to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The honor, announced Monday, comes three years after his untimely death. A native of Calabria, Italy who was raised in Montreal, Gatti retired in 2007 with a record of 40-9 with 31 knockouts and was selected in his first year of eligibility. Gatti died three years ago in Brazil at age 37 under mysterious circumstances. "He gave it all in the ring," said "Irish" Micky Ward, who had three memorable bouts with Gatti. "He gave everything to the sport of boxing. He gave the fans what they wanted." http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/8733262/arturo-gatti-virgil-hill-mills-lane-elected-boxing-hall-fame
