Kostya vs Gatti, who likes it?

[drh]

Gatti is looking for a name opponent for his HBO finale on July 14th.
I think Kostya is a Showtime fighter, but hypothesis that this can be overcome.

Although Kostya is far superior, there are a couple of things working against him that may even things up on the betting sheets:
- inactivity
- lost his last fight, quite badly
- moving up to 147, gatti has been there a few times

What ya reckon?

Both should be retired. Thankfully Kostya seems very close if not already there. He was world class and will never be as good as at his peak.
Gatti has now been bashed around mercilessly by anyone with a hint of world class calibre. A Hatton fight would be criminal (and if the rumour is true that Hatton has been interested then I will truly be disgusted) as he is as shot as it is possible to be. Mediocre boxer, world-class heart and now he's done.
I love Tszyu but I would not watch this fight. I desperately hope it never happens.

Why would Kostya take this fight?

[squealpiggy]

Good for Kostya, bad for Arturo. A fight with Ricky Hatton would be insane for Gatti. I believe it is Matthew Hatton who is interested in that one.

Meaningless fight.

Meaningless fight.

I agree it's a meaningless fight but I will love to see it! I think this will be a good farewell fight for both boxers.

4 years ago I wanted to see this fight. Tszyu didn't want a bar of Gatti.

Kostya would give Gatti brain damage
