How good is Gatti?

[Mr. Ryan]

If you've seen Matthew Saad Muhammad, you've seen Arturo Gatti.

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.

I imagine gatti vs tszyu would be like the 2nd sharmba fight or the de la hoya vs gatti fight.

[kborges]

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

I agree. He's exciting to watch, but won't be able to beat Tzsyu, Cotto or PBF.

gatti is just that
Good
he can take a lot
and dish it out
but skills wise, hes nothin miraculous
hes justa good solid fighter
a solider fighter with one punch power
which makes him a lil more of a threat
but not becuz hes some superb boxer

[Kimmy]

I think Gatti cheats himself allot of the time. I remember him boxing excellent against Tracy harris patterson some years back and he nearly shut out Micky Ward in their second encounter. Thing is Gatti loves to brawl rather than box and this has cost him over the years. I think if Gatti Boxed in fights, notably against Robinson, Manfredy and the first ward fight, he might have avoided defeat because these guys aren`t really great boxers. Not to say Gatti is but he can box well when he chooses to!

i totally agree and brawling will only get you so far......and that is why to date gatti has not beaten any big name (except for small dorin)......so when he steps up and fights the big names, he will be put back in his place.........

oh,I know......................

What's so ironic about this is before Gatti fought that "small" Dorin, according to the polls and opinions of the majority of the posters here, Gatti was gonna get his ass handed to him by Dorin. Now that he's beat him, and in good fashion, Dorin was "small", etc....The guy just cant win with some people apparently As for the comment "put back in his place"...exactly where is that , according to you ?

[bigdlb12]

Gatti vs Leija
80-90% of the people will say Gatti

Now ask that same 80-90% who would win
Gatti vs Kostya
about 80-90% of them will say Kostya

what I am saying is that Gatti is good enough for the Wards,Dorins,Camache etc... but when he is in there with the Manfrey,bronco etc... he lacks something

Sooo true.
