How good is Gatti?

[spinksjinx]

Brawling can only get you so far in a career.
As far as Gatti goes...he lost to Angel Manfredy, what more can I say..

So true, Gatti packs hardly any boxing skill and when he tried to boxes he comes up short.....Look at the Branco fight...Branco almost stole it had he not given Gatti so much respect I think he would have decisioned him......

Any top 5 fighter at 140 beats Gatti EASILY!....

Mayweather vs Gatti would be one of the most boring fights to the casual boxing fans....Floyd would box circles around the confused Gatti....Gatti wants nothing of Mayweather, he couldnt catch him.

You've posted before that you hated Gatti, and thats cool...ya know, to each his own (and I tried to give ya karma anyway but have maxed out ) but I'm curious as to why? If you dont mind sharing, that is. Did he say something in an interview that didnt sit well with you? Has he avioded someone and you lost respect or something? I'm just curious cause the few fighters that I despise like that it's always cause of their conceit and arrogance. Thats my pet-peeve...but Gatti has never come across that way to me. So, whats yours..just curious?

No not at all, Gatti gets is grade A when it comes to being a class act, I dont like Gatti's style, a brawl is good to see but I love the technique of boxing and everytime Gatti has faced a guy who actually boxed with him he had lost, Gatti is a true warrior in the ring and a complete gentleman out but he doesnt possess much boxing ability in the deep division he is in.

I dont like his style and any true boxer who boxes him defeats him.

mcgirt has improved him a lot. im impressed with him a lot more tthan i used to be. before he was just a brawler, now he can mix it up. he uses the jab a lot more. his savaging of dorin was an impressive display.

His shot against Dorin was probably if not one of the best body shots of all time that my eyes have witnessed, but I wouldn say that shot was because of boxing ability a shot like that could have landed in a brawl.

gotti isnt that good...his fights are just exciting..put him in with a guy like cotto or tszyu..and youll see how he folds

Arum wants Cotto in with Gatti sooooooooooo bad, that would be a complete destruction of the "phenom" of Gatti and a new star would be born and Arum knows that. Cotto's style is exciting and appealing to the public...If that fight would come off we would have a new goldenboy.

Gatti isn't going to have much of a chance against folks like Mayweather, Tsyzu or, were he to move up again, against Spinks. Especially Floyd Jr. and Cory would really out box him. KT would be fun to watch, although I am undecided if he would be stopped by cuts or one of KT's on target power shots.
