“Fighting Words” Memorial – Remembering Arturo Gatti

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by David P. Greisman - Our first goodbye was heartbreaking. This last one is heart-stopping.

Arturo Gatti, dead at the age of 37, found early Saturday in a hotel room in Brazil, where he was staying with his wife and young son.

Nearly two years ago to the day, we said goodbye to Gatti following his final fight, a knockout loss against Alfonso Gomez. It was bittersweet. We did not want to see him take any more punishment, even though the way he took punishment and fought back was exactly why we had long loved to see him. [details]

R.I.P the most exciting fighter our our generation!

Man i wouldn't go that far, Manny Pacquiao is way more exciting, and Gatti was good, but he can't be said that is the most exciting of this decade, when fighter like OScar and Floyd have given us such a high standard of fighting.

Man i wouldn't go that far, Manny Pacquiao is way more exciting, and Gatti was good, but he can't be said that is the most exciting of this decade, when fighter like OScar and Floyd have given us such a high standard of fighting.

Seriously, On a day like this you would let that go. Seriously no need to argue a point like this today.


RIP GATTI. Thank you for the memories.
