Arturo Gatti...

[J.R]

gatti shoundt be put in dream fights with duran or pac man! he's getting matched with two of the very best of all time!

And that says something about our opinions of the man.....

Busy, where have you gone?

Would anyone else like to talk about Duran-Gatti and the possible outcome?

[Fenom]

my fault... prime Duran? i think im going with hands of stone, Gatti did posses boxing ability but even if he tried to apply it, Duran would eventually drag him into a slugfest.... and we all know it wouldnt take much for Gatti to slug

Yeah, he has a win over SRL at Welterweight - so he can certainly adjust to the weight.

Like I said, I've never said Gatti was a bad boxer. But he didn't posses the skills and talent to beat Duran and Pacman.

Plus, a lot of people make threads about other ****** match-ups and I just don't understand why?

...Is not that gifted as a boxer.

What's up with all these threads about Gatti vs Duran and Gatti vs Pac? His trilogy with Ward was amazing, but that doesn't make him a great fighter.

Word 'em up.

I fell for the Gatti trap as well. I used to think he was super tight cus he had tremendous heart. But the more i looked into it, he didn't need to block all those punches with his face. In a good majority of his fights, he would start to box, but then he'd end up wit a slug fest.

I definately don't think he was a great fighter either...just a really really good fighter. However, the "Trilogy" was a great epic, but i think that might be his only chapter in history. His other opportunity was against Mayweather, but he was brutally exposed in that fight.

It's always unfortunate when a boxer falls. He will be missed as a boxer and a person, but i don't think i would go out of my way to pay for a Gatti fight.

R.I.P. GATTI

I love Gatti but Duran would stop him.

so you saying gatti would beat him?

[Bushbaby]

Arturo Gatti actually DID have boxing ability.. he just loved to brawl, but i've seen Gatti box beautifully early and throughout some of his latter career

Yup,seen Gatti ko someone with a broken hand,while boxing!!That said,at 135,Gatti had a punchers chance against anyone!!He'd still lose 99% of the time to Duran and maybe Pac,but they would know they been in a fight!!

People can talk all the **** they want, but I'll tell you this much. When Gatti fought at 147, a division he clearly couldnt handle, he sure didnt ask for any punk ass catchweights. He just got in there, tried his best, and let the chips fall where they may.......
