Tell me more about this guy, please. I've only recently been following him, and it's hard to get his fights over in Limeyland.

But I like his style, he makes for entertaining matches and so on. Yet I've also noted that he's derided on here in some quarters.

So what's the word?

He is a warrior because he brawls alot, get cut alot and keeps coming back. The only think is, Floyd Mayweather is going expose him June 25th.

He's been in as many wars as any fighter in history.
But, that's been a gainst the not-so-greats.

He's a gem.....but that's in terms of entertainment. Accomplishment/opposition wise....he's overrated in some quarters.

if gatti comes into ring at 160(laila ali size, lol), like he did against gamache.. it could get interesting....

Gatti is the definition of heart. He has been in several FOTY wars, but he is not a lb/lb fighter. Infact most people would argue that he has never beaten a good boxer. His style used to be allout brawler but he's trying to box more now.

Gatti has great heart and will. His overall skills arent up there with a Mayweather..but puts on some exciting fights. Hasnt beaten anyone great..but..could do it against Mayweather..though im taking PBF by ko

I take it you took that handle (Killing Joke)from the band of the same name ?

I have always liked Gatti as a boxer, the thing is that he swells up and his defense has let him down.He can punch though and i hope he catches Mayweather!
