    How would Gatti do in the 1920's-1950's?

    Based on his hard rock chin and aggresive style?

    could he have been a better fighter at that generation than in the mid 90's and early 2000?

    Because most fighters in the 1920-1950 all were aggressive and lacked "technically"


    wha are your thoughts?

      Gatti would be a legend no matter what generation he fought in. This man is everything that "prize fighting" stands for and then some. I'm the type who likes to watch guys that come to FIGHT. Gatti is and always will be my kinda fighter! He left nothing in the ring!

        I think Gatti will be brain dead if he fought back in that time period...He took to much punishment and he had a little bit to much heart..He would take a beating a want to keep fighting....I commend him for his courage but he has to know when he's been defeated.

            Snap.

            He would be the greatest fighter of that generation like he is this one.

            Mayweather paid him to lose

                    Ray whut up my man I agree but the fact that he never conceeded defeat is what made him great. i can see it playing out in my head now RD 9 of the first Gatti Ward. Ward jusr ripping shot to Gatti's body and Gatti was taking all that punishment another man would have knelt or went down and stayed down but not Gatti. It may not haev bee n the most healthy move in the world but it was the only move for him. He never stayed down unless he was knocked out cold or dead.
