    Hattons known as a bigger puncher then Mayweather, Tszyu must have taken harder shots for a longer period of time.

    Both fighters are warriors.

        gatti didnt quit. mcgirt told him he had enough. gatti said "no, give me one more round." and by the time gatti was walking back to his corner, mcgirt already gestured that he was gonna end it.
        i dont think either gatti or tszyu are quitters. their corners have more control over them in between the bells.

          Thats what i said, neither fighter should be called a quitter.

                Both Gatti and Tszyu took a lot of shots and looked hurt

                Both sat down in their corners and their coaches decided enough was enough.

                Neither man complained about the stoppage

                The only difference was that Tszyu lasted longer and it turns out he had brain injurys.

                SO WHY IS TSZYU A QUITTER AND GATTI A WARRIOR??
                Gatti kept saying, "one more round," "one more round." Either way, I never considered KT's corner stoppage to be a quit. It's just like them throwing the towel in. It wasn't his decision, the corner made it for him.

                I agree with you.

                  Yeah... I can't believe the dissrespect some people were giving Kostya Tszyu on here afterwards.

                  I think Kostya Tszyu's jaw was broken!

                  I guess some people just don't respect fighters even when they give it their all! ...

                    WRONG!! i guess you don't have audio in the corner over in the uk, but Gatti clearly stated at least 2 times that he wanted 1 more round, it was loud and very clear. nice try pal, talk about bias, open your ears brit

                      hmm

                      but there are some bias *******s on here who think its one rule for American based fighters and another the rest of the world.
                      Stop bitchin' already. Brits are more biased or as biased as anyone, so please stop this high and mighty bull****. Gatti asked to continue, Tszyu did NOT, and it's really that simple. I'm not even a fan of Gatti but you are straight up ignoring wtf Gatti said as opposed to what Tszyu said, and THAT is biased.

                      Get outta here.

                      Tszyu was the man and it's ok that he didn't want to continue, but you need to stop with this anti-American bull****. If you are so high and mighty then why come down to "our" level anyway?
