    I think Gatti should angle for a Tsyzu fight. Tsyzu is getting on and Vince Philips showed if you hit Tsyzu square he can be KO`ed. I`d pick Tsyzu to stop Gatti late but with the power and the heart Gatti might just have an outside shot of a miricle!

      I don't agree with pinkpanther.
      Benn did not have 'a bigger heart, and tougher chin' than Gatti. Although he may have had more power, that's more of an issue the weight difference in that comparison.

        Arturo Gatti is the best 3 round fighter in the world.

          Outboxed by manfredy and than KO-ed?

          The fight about was even, with Gatti growing in the fight. Than it was stopped on a cut!

              With his power and chin, and some good boxing skills, Gatti is a threat to anybody who gets in the ring with him.

                That is not what happened in Tszyu-Phillips. That fight was a war of attrition. Phillips had alot more left in the tank. than Tszyu.

                Phillips was the ONLY man at that time strong enough to not be outmuscled by Tszyu. Phillips also had that "**** it, I got nothing to lose" thing going for him, making him able to take just about any shot.

                It was not ONE shot Phillips hit him with. He hit him with about 7 straight right hands before he was out. At that time Tszyu did not know how to clinch when he was hurt. As we have seen from Mitchell I and Judah, he has learned his lesson quite well.

                Gatti is not strong enough to slug with Tszyu, and is not a good enough boxer to outbox Tszyu.

                Gatti-Tszyu would be a great historic fight, but Gatti doesn't stand a chance.

                  I dont want to see Tszyu vs Gatti, i have a bad feeling Tszyu will blast him out of there, i think Gatti's a very good fighter but he'd be better fighting Mayweather.

                  I think Mayweather would win on points but its an interesting fight, i'd even like him to fight Harris.

                    I don't know about Tszyu "blasting" Gatti. Tszyu is a lot older than he was in his prime and after watching the Vince Phillips fight, I think Gatti has a good chance. I think it would be a great fight. Mayweather.. now that might be pushing it a little. But I would never count Gatti out in a fight. He has the ability to end a fight with one punch, so he's never far from winning a match. Tszyu vs. Gatti prediction: Draw.

                      Gatti has a chance with anyone he fights, there are just some fighters I don't think I would like to see him in with. I think KT would be a very entertaining fight, AND I'd give Gatti a chance, he has good handspeed, punches with some authority, and is always in great shape. I think Gatti is much more than a three round fighter, and I think KT punches harder, no doubt, but IMO, Gatti puts his punches together better.
