how the hell..does gatti gain 20 pounds in 1 day?

[ThunderGatti]

Gatti is a ****ing bum. This is one of the reasons I ****ing hate him. He could've at least found a journeyman that was his weight to beat up. Gamache was permanently injured. And say what you want, but Gatti is just as much at fault as everyone who allowed him to get away with it. If someone kills someone else and they get away with it, the murderer is still a murderer. The ones who didn't prevent the murder aren't as bad as the criminal.

Haha, man this is gettin old. A bum?? Cmon man ur better than that. Gatti is no bum. Gatti and bum should never be in the same sentence. You may not like Gatti or question his skills but leave it at that. Saying Gatti is bum makes you plain ******.

A bum doesnt get off the canvas from being knocked down to win the fight. And how many times have we seen Gatti snatch victory from when it seems Gatti will surely lose. Bums dont fight w/ a broken hand. Yet how many times have we seen Gatti fight w/ one and still be able to box his way to victory?? Bums lie down, Gatti doesnt.

Get ur facts straight masterdirector or i will keep correcting you. But its gettin old and im sick of playin wet nurse for you.

You got to suck to be the biggest mother-****er in the division and still not be the best it has to offer. I'd like to see him fight Miguel Cotto at Middleweight.

There is a downside to weighing in on the day of the fight. It is health reasons. Being so dehydrated on the day of the fight is not good for the brain. The day before allows the membranes to have a chance to grow.

People should just fight at a weight that they can make without having to drain themselves though. Gatti really should fight at around 154-160.

^ya but if gatti fights at that weight he wont be knocking guys out that size that is why they make him lose so much weight.

Just like erik morales he wont be knocking any 140 pounders out.


Floyd mayweather jr weighs in the next day only 2 to 4 pounds over the limit at 144 max that is why I respect him and his ethic.

Demarcus chop chop corely weighed like 142 against cotto and I believe cotto weighed 155 and corley almost knocked his head off!

I agree fighters should fight at there regular weight but it will never happen because some fighters dont have the frame to carry there weight with power, and like always there will be fighters losing weight even on the fight day ways to make weight and probally die in the ring from health problems making it bad for boxing, boxing already has enough heat and problems more damge to boxing.

I think the weigh ins are perfect day before the fight.

[hectari]

actually you would see them killing themselves to make weight. They used to have same day weigh ins. I believe they still do in some parts of the world. Thailand I believe. How often do you hear about a Thai fighter being killed in the ring? A lot more often than you do about fighters here. Unfortunately, people would try draining themselves for that edge just like they do now.

There have been performance enhancing drugs that athletes have taken even though the drugs were killing them. And they knew the drugs were killing them, constant nose-bleeds, headaches, etc. Kidney failure must be a painful way to die.

^^^^^AGREED

I agree about the Gamache thing. Masterdirector does have his facts straight on that. You neglected to quote him on that. So you are already half wrong.

I can help with some documentation:

Quoted from above link:


Defend that, ThunderGatti.

It would be nice if we would all just stop this nonsense.

^hahaha damn you schooled him!

[repsa]

hectari, the only thing is if it were a perfect world and EVERYBODY fought at a more natural weight, the weight classes would be a good bit different. Therefore say Gatti were naturally at 154, well Winky Wright would also fight at his natural weight which might be 160, etc. So everyone would fight in say a division (or two) higher than where they're currently fighting.

Yeah, I agree, their power wouldn't carry the same and they'd be slower, but if that is the case maybe they don't really belong in the ring. Not at the elite level at least. Just a thought. I must give you good karma for your nice posts though. Good points.

Great Im proud of u. You did a nice google search and found an article on the Gamache fight. But youngturk I wasnt replying to the facts surrounding the Gatti/Gamache fight. I was replying to the ******,pointless, and factless insults made by masterdirector when he called Gatti a bum.

So youngturk dont rebuke my previous reply towards master director based on comments i didnt make. If you want my opinion on the Gamache weigh in or other subjects just ask. But be polite and say please b/c we want all this other nonsense to stop.

But back to the gamache fight how is Gatti at fault for doing what he has done his whole carreer, and its not just gatti that does this, look at Cotto/Corely as someone had previously mentioned. And if Gamache gave Gatti trouble or even won the fight we would have never have heard of the incident.

So the blame lies not on Gatti himself but the rules and regulations at the top of boxing itself. Too many weightclasses and the weigh ins should possibly be moved to the day of the fight. SO to go back for a sec say Gatti makes weight on the Gamache fight the day before, does it matter?? So Gatti comes in weighing 10 pounds over the limit instead of 14, does that solve anything?

He wouldn't even be top 10 in the junior/mid weight divisions, thus he does what he has to to make 140.

[adeelr]

thats sounds fishy.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

It is bad, but Gatti will also suffer. The weight shenanigans will take its tool on him. Also Tito would have a way bigger advantage over Corley than Gatti had over Gamache. Gatti outweighed Gamache by not quite 20 lbs, whereas Tito would outweigh Corley by 28 lbs. Plus Tito just has more p4p power. But I see what you're saying.
