gatti or wladimir?

[KostyaTszyu44]

who has a better all time legacy gatti or wladimir klitschko???

at this stage i mean, say if wlad retired tomorrow

debate this, i'd like to see the wlad lovers opinions, for a bit of a laugh

[KostyaTszyu44]

i think its gatti, he fought better competition and was in far better fights than wlad ever was or ever will be in

[KLITSCHKO.]

Is this thread a joke??

Gatti was a punching bag


Wlad is obviously a way better fighter

[Silencers]

Klitschko was/is the better fighter.

[KostyaTszyu44]

hmm klitschko is more technical and skilled of course but gatti is the one people will remember in 50 years time

and he fought waaaaaaaay better competition than wlad did

[Silencers]

But he lost to most of them, Gatti will be remembered as the Human Highlight Reel, the one who brings excitement to his fights but his accomplishments weren't great.

The flip side is that Klitschko will be remembered as the ruler of a very weak division.

Gatti fought great fighters, had great fights but he did not beat great fighters. He was at his best as a super featherweight.

thats why i threw this one out there

the not so skilled one who struggled with the hall of famers

versus the somewhat skilled guy who just fought bum after bum

Is there is top fighter who Klitschko avoided? Otherwise that contention has no point. You can't create exciting opposition for yourself. Plus Gatti lost to some fighters who won't get one vote for hall of fame.

Now, I love Gatti. He was awesome, so much heart and was great to watch. But the simple fact is, he never beat any great fighters, but he did fight anyone. Gatti will be remembered as one of the most entertaining fighters of out era. But Wladimir Klitschko has a better legacy, He has won the title 2 or 3 times, and fougth everyone there has been to fight. And won, against most of them.
