Why is Gatti's camp trying to avoid the Tszyu Fight?

[Mr. Untouchable]

I know that boxing is about making money, but why does it seem like Gatti and his people are finding every reason in the world not to face the other top lightweghts out there. I really don't think he as good a fighter as the make him out to be...he blocks evey punch with his face and that is why we won't fight a tszyu, mayweather, cotto or harris...I know many don't think much of harris, because we don'y see much of him but in the two fights I have seen him in he was dominant...but back to gatti I think that him as his people know that if he fights any of the elite 140lbers he will get knocked the **** out....

Personally I think it's more about smart money management than being a coward. He may be alot of different things, but I could never consider him a coward. It just doesnt fit

[acquitted]

gatti isnt a coward..but he is not a elite 140 pounder.hes in the 2nd class

Gatti a coward?!?!?! that is insane.

[Hurlex]

no he's not, its just put it like this...one side hbo can have a multi mega millions dollar fight and have gatti/Mayweather (after gatti/lieja) and keep all profits or they can have a multi million dollar fight against KT and have to share/split it with showtime etc...so thats why HBO doesnt want to...remember gatti may not be the best out there and some hate him...but one thing about him..he got heart and will fight anyone till the end

Gatti is no coward, but HBO prize him as a cash cow. They won't want to stick him in with Tszyu when they can carry on making good money watching him fight 2nd tier opponents like Branco.

Hehehe sure Gatti a coward. NO WAY!

A pity though that the fight with Tszyu not seem to be going to happen.

do we really want to see KT ruin Gatti? I give Gatti a better chance against Mayweather.

[Nick54]

the fact that you even asked if gatti was a coward suggest to me that you dont know alot about boxing.

Gatti faced DLH an dyou calling him a coward?
