Arturo Gatti vs Vinny Pazienza at 135

[slicksouthpaw16]

No, I indirectly said Gatti has the same chance of beating Pazienza as he has of beating Whitaker. Dont put words in my mouth.

no comparison what so ever. Paz was not even close to being on the level of sweat pea. paz and gatti are on the same level. that is what makes this fight so interesting.

So then, are Camacho Sr and Gatti on the same level?

Paz is MUCH more skilled than Gatti, and picking Gatti to beat him as equally insulting as picking Gatti to beat Whitaker.

I didn't "put" words in your mouth. I asked a clarifying question.

Macho is closer to Pernell than he is to Gatti. On the boxing continuum.

Its okay, you are forgiven.

Exactly my point, and Paz gave Camacho one hell of a fight. Something Gatti wouldn't have a chance in hell of doing.

Camacho is closer to Pernell than he is to Gatti, and Paz is closer to Camacho than Gatti is to Paz.

Camacho is closer to Pernell than he is to Gatti, and Paz is closer to Camacho than Gatti is to Paz.

Would this be a triangular theory?

No it would not be.

100 Pernell is here <---
90 Camacho is here <---Camacho is closer to Pernell than he is to Gatti
80 Paz is here <---Paz is closer to Camacho than Gatti is to Paz
70
60 Gatti is here <---

Gatti was an exciting club fighter with loads of heart, but he was by no means world class. Paz was.

Camacho is closer to Pernell than he is to Gatti, and Paz is closer to Camacho than Gatti is to Paz.

styles make the fights. Paz gave Camacho trouble because of his aggressiveness. but Paz and Gatti both have styles that are made to clash and have an exciting fight. for example, Haugen beat Paz but i dont think Haugen could beat Gatti.
