More heart breaking loss for you: Ali or Gatti?

Ali. Because you know that in his prime, he could've beaten Holmes in a very competitive fight. Gatti would lose to Floyd at any stage of his career.

Why does it have to be Floyd? Didn't Oscar 'Gatti' Arturo Gatti before Mayweather? That was an azz whoopin. i choose floyd fight because because the lose is very similar. So which one is more heart breaking for you? between Ali slump in the corner while Angelo shouting to the ref to stop the fight, or Gatti begging for one more round to Buddy mcgirt while we all know he had enough.

Mayweather at 135 and 140 was pretty good.:lol1:

While I'm not gonna dispute over whether or not Gatti would have won, I think it's safe to assume that a younger Gatti who fought like he usually did would have likely made it through the whole fight with Mayweather instead of being forced to quit in the 6th round. Gatti trying to box with Mayweather had to be painful for his fans to watch, seeing how he had no real chance of winning the fight that way. Still, like I said, it wasn't really "heartbreaking". In the end, he was up against a young, skilled, undefeated boxer in his prime. People didn't give Gatti much of a chance anyway. For the Gomez fight...look, whether you think he was good fighter or not, you HAD to feel his fans that night. Just like how fans thought Ali vs. Holmes wasn't suppose to turn out the way it did, Gatti vs. Gomez was the same way. That was just too hard to watch.

Why and how are these 2 even being compared? Because these two are immortally beloved fighter, and their loss is very identical. Not comparing their greatness. my reason for choosing gatti is because he's the fighter of my era, i watch him since i was a kid and when i watch what floyd do to him my teenage heart can barely take it.

how is ali overrated? he's underrated tbh. most ppl put robinson ahead of him which i disagree with. ali beat floyd patterson the greatest heavyweight mid-late 50's. sonny liston the most feared heavyweight of early 60's. joe frazier the champion of late 60's. george foreman was invincible early 70's. tyson beat ali? LMFAO ali beat 4 tysons. patterson, liston, frazier and foreman were the tyson of their era. lol you kids need to learn boxing history.

Why does it have to be Floyd? Didn't Oscar 'Gatti' Arturo Gatti before Mayweather? That was an azz whoopin.

ali had like 10 wives and none of them strangled him with a purse strap. i feel worse for arturo.

Why and how are these 2 even being compared?

Floyd would have beat Gatti's ass at any point in either of their careers. You can accept the circumstances. Seeing the GOAT heavyweight lose like that makes a person sick to watch. It disturbed Holmes himself. You don't want to accept it, because you know that's not how it should have happened.

Ali loss to Larry holmes Or Gatti loss to Mayweather Their loss is very identical For me is Gatti, even though Ali is my Fav of all time i grew up watching Gatti fights. he was the reason i love this sport so much. i know he'll never gonna win but even after brutal beating for 6 rounds i still hoping Gatti will find another strenght for one last barrage like he always do. Sadly it didn't happen. Videos for reminder Neither. I consider Ali an ATG but overrated and I loved Gatti, he was a warrior, but I was rooting for Floyd in that fight from the get-go.

I'm one of the minority here but I hated Ali as a fighter. I was watching his fights the other day again on ESPN Classic and goddamn he is truly overrated. He had a cowardly style as well. Tyson would have disposed of that clown in 4 rounds, EASILY. So watching Ali get beat was/is satisfying to see. Gatti was a warrior with a huge heart, it was heartbreaking to see him leave it all out there, give everything he had, and come up short. You connected with fighters like Gatti, you connected to his fighting spirit. He was a true man in every sense of the word. So easily, Gatti losing is way more heart breaking to see than that runner Ali. Keyboard warriors are the real cowards.

Both were way past their prime I watch a documentary on Gatti about his death it stated that by the time he fought Oscar and Floyd Gatti was already seeing double Hell, did you see Ali trying to hit the speed bag leading up to the Holmes fight? It was bad. So many signs leading up to that fight, it still amazes me it came off.

Ali's loss to Holmes. I think that was a sad day for the entire boxing world. Gatti's loss to Mayweather isn't really "heartbreaking" compared to the much worse beating he got from Alfonso Gomez. Now THAT was sad ****. The Mayweather loss and how it happened was expected by boxing insiders. Even Gatti's own camp didn't want him taking that fight.

Im going with the minority on this one. Gatti made me a huge boxing fan. It was truly truly sad to see him get beat like that. As for Ali, I was not yet born when he was fighting so I cant compare him to Gatti.

Ali gave his life to the sport of boxing, his health deteriorates on the daily because of what he gave of himself to the boxing public. He was no coward. He was tactical, but if the **** hit the fan, he was a warrior without peer. Not once during the Gatti Floyd fight can you say "prime Gatti handles Floyd." But during the Holmes fight that's all you end up thinking. Also it's so bad that you consider Holmes almost dishonorable for poaching a failing legend. It was a disgrace. In the hype leading up to the fight you can see in the interviews Ali's Parkinson's was beginning to set in. Too much punishment over the years. That fight never should have happened. It was wrong on so many levels.

Ali.............

Ali is an ATG in terms of skill and is widely considered one of the greatest of all time. Had he been in his prime when he fought Holmes he probably would have won. Gatti was an all action fighter but let's be honest in terms of boxing skill he was a club fighter. When faced with other fighters of equal or less skill he would produce fireworks. But if he was in his prime when he fought Floyd he still would have lost in the same manner. He never would have stood a shot in hell against someone of Floyd's caliber. Had he have fought Pac, Mosley or any other A fighter of his era the results would have been the same.
