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

Is Gatti a Coward?

Gatti is the man because he has the biggest heart out of every active fighter that I can think of today. Everyone know he is not the most technically sound fighter out there but no one cares. He gives 150% out of every performance, and you know his fights will always be worth your time. It's the coward remark that didn't sit too well with people.

BTW, Dorin's draw with Spad was contraversial. As for Mayweather, Gatti can hurt him that's all I'm going to say.

yeah I knew the coward remark would get some negative attention, but I didn't know how else to word the question. So I will start a new thread and askk the question differently...

If they really wanted the fight wouldn't find a way to make it happen. This one of the biggest fights out and it seems as if the Gatti camp is deadset on preventing it from happening.

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....

hmmmmm why wont they let gatti fight Tszyu?
becuase they want to keep making a living
why the *** would they throw him in with kosta
u think they care more about pleasen us then about protectin their cash cow, or pinata that can punch back

main events promotions are bitches... they're protecting their cash cow, gatti... awesome response from showtime on the front page

OK OK we all can agree that Arturo is anything but a coward. KT v. Gatti will not happen because this is a fight that very easily could end Gatti's career. It has been stated above that it is about money/cash cow....no doubt it is but KT is just the wrong fight. Many have forgotten that Gatti is not an elite fighter, many think he is elite. I believe if Gatti fought Hatton were talkin fight of the year stuff, I believe that he has an outside shot at beating Floyd, point is that there are many fights out there that still can mask Gatti as being elite.

Fighting KT is certainly not that fight! If he fights KT he will not only loose but he will get murdered. In the after math of a fight like this where does he go anfter being cut up like freddie crougar, hanging around for a few rounds and getting brutaly stopped in the tenth when everyone watching could see he was in trouble in the second. This fight would expose Gatti as a 2nd tier guy, he has already overcome that once in his career, if he takes a huge beating his status takes far too huge a hit and he is more or less through.

I myself don't wnat this fight, I love Gatti and don't want him in with someone like KT, fight Hatton, fight Floyd, but let me and the rest of the Gatti crowd enjoy this career resurrection that has taken place in the past few years, don't ruin it by fighting Ivan Draggo. Adrianne said it best too rocky and now Gatti's management is saying it too him..."Rocky, you can't win."

i hate this ..gatti aint no coward why would ppl ven argue it...that an is finally making the money he deserves...i say a PBF fight is better..KT will probably really hurt gatti...so screw that..but since years ago gatti wanted KT..but sinc gatti wasnt big until his ward saga and KTFO of Dorin now everyone wants him...i am glad the ball is in his court ad gatti can do anythign he wants...and did you guys watch espn on monay,,,gatti said he had not problem going in his words:

"no problem going Lieja then floyd then Kosta..i am a fighter this is what i do, they can say whatever they want about my fighting style but in the end i have the heart ti keep going"
this quote might still be on espn.com..anyway yeah..leave gatti alone fools..he is the real life rocky

[scap]

But rocky won!!!

Your right!!! Here to history repeating itself KT vs. Gatti!!!

No wait a minute, wait a minute, Rock may have won but Apollo was killed....the outcome will come somewhere in the middle between Rock's permanent brain damage and Apollos death, like I said above KT v. Gatti= a no go!

Is Gatti a Coward? That question ridicules everything we know about Gatti.

Gatti, his corner, his promotion team, his family, the boxing world, all know one thing ..... Gatti has not got many more tough fights left in him. Gatti commands some big money fights, but he'll never have enough money to fix a mushy brain.

Gatti doesn't fear Kostya the Fighter, he questions the payday. He knows that Kostya is potentially a career-ending opponent. I want Gatti to receive a payday big enough for him to walk-away from the ring after Kostya, if that's what he chooses. Otherwise, I'd still respect Gatti for taking lesser opponents who would give Gatti a big percentage for putting asses in those seats. Either way, we get to see the HightLight Reel in action.

I don't want Gatti-Kostya and I do want Gatti-Kostya. I just don't need to see Gatti get his head damned near knocked off.

That's an honest and that's all I wanted to hear was someone say that they didn't want one their favorite fighters to get whooped on in the ring for little money, but I hear other fighters get talked about all the time for doing the same thing. It just seems like there are a lot of biased people on this site that can down other people's favorite fighters, but when you question there's they ***** up..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I asked was a rhetorical question I never said Gatti was a coward I just posed the question...
