Comments Thread For: International Boxing Hall of Fame: The Gatti Question

[pelonxsoldier28]

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!

[STFU!!]

no
taking a mean ass whooping shouldn't put you in the hall.

[Mato o Muero]

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.

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.

Gatti shouldn't get in. He had a solid/decent career, won titles in 2 weight classes, but he didn't have enough good wins to get in.

Castillo and Corrales, and even Hatton or Genaro should get in before Gatti does.

[ddangerous]

Boxing HOF should have some honorary acknowledgement for both Gatti and Ward for their contributions to bringing more people to the sport. Everyone goes home happy.

all this Stallone crap over a statue & ovie...Gatti/Ward that's what they'll b remebered as, together, were not elite & did not beat the elite best...good and exciting, but @ 140, on the level of a Pryor? No way...

[Sjblandy]

Gatti should be entered in the hall of fame just on his 3 absolute wars with ward alone. True warrior

[Russian Crushin]

Gatti was the modern day rockey balboa. If Stalone gets in then its a crime if Gatti cant when Gatti fought the same way.

Its not really fair to others that might be better and not got in but obviously they never impacted the sport like he did.

Definitely deserves it over prince nazeem are you kidding that girl folded after one schooling to one elite fighter while Gatti got his ass whooped and still kept coming.

He should get in because he is the ultimate epitome of what the heart of a champion and warrior stand for.

Russian Crussian would be dissing Gatti with a big quitter like duran in his avy LMAO
