          People will alway remeber Gatti-Ward wars or his other fights where he was about to lose but comes back with a KO
          Amen to that. They may not have had the skills of the elite level fighters but theyve given us more great fights and memories than most of the top level fighters of the current generation put together. Man this sucks. So so sad. A true warrior. R.I.P. champ : (

              HoF is for fighters that had FAME and alot of followers.

              Gatti for sure is a HoF

              But not a ATG

We on the other hand actually make calls to confirm the information before making such an error to put something out there when friends and family of the fighter could and will be reading.
                So he is really dead yeah? Or is it just reports?

                  They found his body and it has been reported on major networks.

                  It's pretty much confirmed now, sadly.

                    I'm in total shock. I think my heart skipped a beat the second I read Gatti Found Dead. Total saddness. I still love watching his classic bouts and now it's going to be hard. RIP warrior...
