    Gatti only lost once at that weight early in his career, then he started losing when he went up in weight because his size wasn't such a factor in his fights anymore.
    Excellent point!

    He was 29-1 at that weight I believe.

    One loss to King Solomon in a 4 rounder very early in his career.

    Some of his best fights were at 130 also.

    He could stay in there long enough to take a beating and come back.

    Amazing stuff

        Suprisingly, at this point, no.

        He speaks very well .

        The only time he sounds punch drunk is after a few Bud Lights haha

        I'm more worried about how he will be 10-15 years from now.

        So was Larry Hazzard when he came running into the ring after Gomez hit him.

        Seriously though. I know everyone loved to see him in the ring coming back from beatings , but I don't know how it will affect him health wise in years to come.

        Ali started showing signs not too long after he fought Berbick.

        Time will tell.

            I think overall Gatti was a solid fighter. Good power in both hands, above average body puncher, tremendous heart and will.

            Obviously he was mostly awful defensively, and his match making team deserves a lot of credit for getting him in with guys who were either on their way out, or naturally smaller.
