Arturo Gatti Has Some Basketball Sized Cajones(Calling Out Tszyu)

[Mr. Violence]

Arturo Gatti has some major sized balls! He is now calling out Tszyu. Unbelievable! The odds are stacked against Gatti, no disrespect meant to Gatti but Tszyu is a monster and the only chance of beating him is cetainly not to trade with him which you know Gatti will do. Either way anything can happen in a fight, but Arturo Gatti should be commended in this day and age of duck and run, Arturo Gatti has shown he will fight anyone, any place, anytime. What do you think his chances are against Tszyu?

[scap]

Sure Gatti has big balls but I don't think they are quite as big as you think. His promoter has already come out and said there is no chance of the fight happening due to the HBO/Showtime thing. With Gatti coming out and saying that he wants KT....well it is just a good thing to do...he is letting everyone no that he is not afraid of him fully knowing that the chances of the two hooking up are slim and none. Now if the fight does not come off which it most likely won't Gatti is on record of saying that he wants the fight, his promoters are on record of saying no way...this smells like a Public Relations manuever to me...in a way it reminds me of how Roy Jones kept calling out Tyson saying that was the only thing that was left for him...when Jones would get cornered about the fight he then would say get me 50million and the fight is done, which isa a convienent way of saying I don't want the fight. Obviously the two situation are different but the idea is the same which is call a guy out or say you want him bad fully knowing that short of a miracle the fight will never ever take place.

KT would beat Gatti so bad that his appeal would take a severe blow...Arturo has already resurected his career once....a horrible beating by KT would make Arturo have to start all over and his Promoters are not about to ruin a good thing.

Gatti , for all of his heart, has spent his career avoiding big punchers.
(yeah, he fought Oscar...but the $$$ one makes fighting would lead anyone to fight him.)

If he fought Kostya Tszyu, you'd see why he's taken this path.

Gatti's a sucker for a right, & Tszyu's would get there almost immediately. Gatti wouldn't survive it.

.....Very good assesment!!!

Never going to Happen due to the network situation, Gatti can call him out all he wants and know it won't come off. Gatti has to talk a good game, he is not in the class of the top 3 or 4 in the 140 division, in order to keep things ticking he needs to make waves. Everybody knows Gatti is a huge draw but not if he loses a couple and ends up in a position were hes fighting outside the top 10....even for the mighty Aturo 'Warrior' Gatti interest will dwindle......make hay while the sun shines.

Gatti only has 3-4 more fights left anyway guys. Thus, he's calling out the BIG DOGS in hopes of a couple huge paydays. Simple as that. If he beats Leija, he'll fight Mayweather in the summer. If he somehow knocks out PBF....then look for a Tszyu-Gatti match in early 06' regardless of network BS. If Gatti wins those two fights........people will demand and pay for that fight...so the networks will compromise because $$$$$ will be so huge. Meanwhile.......Tszyu fights either Hatton or moves up and fights Spinks.

I hope Tsyzu dont move up. I want so badly to see him fight Mayweather at 140.

[tri4ben2]

I agree with Scap here.

That would be like me calling out Tyszu.

[Hurlex]

gatti has heart..i am glad he puts it out there..i would love to see KT/gatti more then KT/maywaether (we all know its just a matter of time before PBF gets KTFO)...so gatti/KT would be way more exciting and with more to prove..already gatti and KT will be remembered for years to come (so it wont effect there status) but it rate one undisputed champ...i mean they both love to fight and hit hard a** f**k..so it gonna be agreat fight that can go either way

power-KT
heart-gatti

[dansweeney]

Gatti rules, we need heavyweights that have his heart and determination, i hate pbf and hope that if they fight that gatti ends his career
