He should get in. His resume might not be the strongest overall, but he was one the best of his era. He fought anyone who they put in front of him (Oscar and Floyd he had no chance, didn't dodge either). His chin and heart were among the greatest ever. His career might have been longer, but he couldn't resist trading blows that would KO normal person. If Rocky got in, you can't not have Gatti, Sly made a story up, while Gatti lived it.

so we're just gonna start inducting guys because we like them? Gatti was a warrior but he was never the best. Not even close. Talking about him as a hall of fame boxer is comical.Last edited by Mato o Muero; 10-05-2012, 11:57 AM.

100% he should be inducted, the wars that man went threw were down right insaine!!!! If a fighter can lose that many times but still draw huge crowds and stay in the superstar status he was obvious a great!!! Yea people will argue boxing is a hit and dont get hit sport, no its not! Its a fight and you're gonna get hit, you're gonna get dropped, thats how it all started. Gatti was a true throwback blood and guts warrior, he deserves to be in the HOF more then alot of fighters already inducted!

there should be a hall of fame fights category. then the fighters who didn't quite have the hall of fame resumes could get the glory and respect that they deserve.
with that said, i don't think Gatti should be in.

Do these discussions occur over US football and Basketball? what's the requirements for induction into those?
