Gatti appreciation thread!

[The Surgeon]

Give it up for Arturo Gatti! This guy is THE most entertaining fighter i ever saw, been watching all the old Gatti Dvds again and the guy is out of this world, his fights really do make the Rocky movies look like chess matches!

He gets slated on here alot "Oh he just a punch bag" and so on but he thrilled the boxing world Consistantly for years and is one of my All Time Favs!

He was better than given credit for on here but sure he was no Ray Robinson.

The wars, Robinson1&2, Rules, Rodriguez, Ward1&2&3, Manfredy1&2, **** i could go on!

I praised Cotto's heart for fighting througgh the blood against Clottey, Gatti did that **** all the time! Against Rodriguez his eyes were all but shut and he somehow pulls that Highlight reel KO outta the bag, classic stuff!


Give it up for ARTURO "THUNDER" GATTI!

Absolutely, I don't know how many times I've seen him on the verge of being KO'ed only for him to then land a big right hand and rock his opponents back a few steps, and he fought with a lot of heart, the trilogy with Micky Ward is unforgettable, Gatti v Ward is still my favourite fight ever both of those two gave verything they had. Gatti is a true warrior.

Ward vs Gatti verged on Distastefull it was so Brutal! Couple of Warriors that did that **** throughout their careers!

Highlight reel KO's, Blood, Guts, Comebacks u name it!

Win lose or draw u got ur damn moneys worth! Even made PBF look entertaining! jk

I pray another Gatti shows up soon but i dont know if we will ever see another. As much as i like Micheal Katsidis he is **** ALL like Gatti, not even close, as some say!

[gingeralbino]

one of my favourites. a credit to the sport, and will always be remembered. people will talk about the ward trilogy forever.

There will never be another Gatti. But hopefully we'll see a few a bit like him.

Gingeralbino, better fight Rodriguez or Ward 2 & 3?

[Dynamite Kid]

Gatti was class for blood and guts.


Robinson1&2, Rules, Rodriguez, Ward1&2&3, Manfredy1&2

Excellent fights.

Gatti looked like he was going to lose that fight to Rodriguez but pulled it out from no where with his eye closing and all.

My favourite blood and guts fighters Gatti,Chacon/Mancini,Saad Muhammad.


Chacon vs Danny Lopez,Olivares 1,2,3,Boza Edwards 1+2,Limon 4.......great!! fights.

Mancini was never in a bad fight except for the Camacho fight but that was because of Camacho.

Mancini........Bramble 1+2,Kim,Arguello,Frias,Morales,Valdez,Espana.

Mancini's 2nd fight with Bramble is a GREAT fight imo.

Saad........Johnson 1+2 ,Yaqui Lopez 2,Qawi,Conteh 1+2


Chacon and Mancini are more entertaining that Saad but all these guys are class to watch imo.
