This is Terrible Gatti just came off a loss they should of put Jermaine Taylor on the front he deserves to lose

I can't believe people are complaining about Gatti-Ward being on a video game cover. I love boxing but some of its fans are among the most ridiculously ****** in all of sports

and why should gatti and ward be on the cover of a boxing game coming out in 2006

[gattifan24]

Because Gatti has a lot of fans and they are trying to sell a game? Plus, maybe they got them to do the cover for less money than some of these fighters who would price themselves out of breakfast? WHy are you so offended by the choice?

im offended because its ****** to put a retired fighter and a washed up fighter on the front cover of a brand new game. it doesnt make sense, let those who have worked for, and achived more than these guys reap their rewards

Gatti is not washed up. He'll have a big night on 1/28

[Undefeated]

and we shall she if he wins its going to be tough tho

[gattifan24]

We'll see if Thomas Daamgard is Jose Luiz Cruz or if his undefeated record holds weight. My sense is that HBO wanted a guy that would be an exciting fight but pretty easily beatable so going off that (admittedly guesswork logic) I don't expect much more out of this opponent than Leonard Dorin showed. Probably not a rd2 ko of course
