      Ability to take a punch doesn't only fall under the category of heart, you moronic twat. The ability to take a punch has a greater connection to the bodies physical qualities, the boxers conditioning, genetics etc.

      Just stop posting in this thread, you are a fool of epic proportions, it's quite embarrassing.

        Mike Tyson was the most recognizable athlete on the face of the planet for about 5 years. He was bigger than Jordan, Magic, Bo JAckson, Deoin, etc. Don't embarass yourself.

            The one embarrassing themselves is YOU here my friend, if it's gotta be said, but anyway, Gatti was incredibly famous for an "average" lighter weight fighter. That had to do with HOW he fought, not who he beat, or who beat him. His fighting style was one of a kind, and people TOOK NOTICE of it. And believe me, I get why Tyson was inducted, in fact I was there when it happened. I'll also be there when Gatti is inducted.

              Who demolished him? Only Oscar, a naturally bigger man and an ATG and Floyd, a younger and more prime man, also future ATG.

                I agree, that's why I posted this in page 3 of this thread.

                You are just a total moron, through and through, I'm not sure where they breed people of your ilk but I have an inkling that you and Edgar G might share the same genealogy. Back to Ward 7 it is for you.

                  Gatti showed more in defeat against Oscar than most fighters show in victory.
