He will get in.
Should he? Absolutely not. No way, in hell.
But, he will.

No he shouldn't plenty of others produced the same kind of fights he did yet no one would ever mention them, Gatti simply was in fights that are considered exciting to some people and had more fame than the usual club fighter.

I won't say he doesn't deserve consideration, but what I would like to know is how many spots are available and what other fighters are up for nomination.

sigh...i miss Gatti. There was a time, a few years ago, when i thought young Michael Katsidis was following that same path but alas the boots were too big.

Originally posted by 4Corners View PostGatti, Augustus, and Ward should NEVER be mentioned along with Castillo, that's just wrong.
Castillo was the best LW of his era. Beat Johnston, Bazan, J. Diaz, Casamayor, Lazcano, Corrales, and should arguably have a win over Floyd.
Castillo and Corrales' careers > Gatti's career
I'd put Hatton and Genaro in before Gatti.
FTR, my picks were:
Betulio Gonzalez
Yoko Gushiken
Naseem Hamed
Rafael Herrera
Harry Jeffra
Santos Laciar
Masao Ohba
Lou Salica
Myung-Woo Yuh
Hilario Zapata

Originally posted by apokalips View PostIf Balboa can get in then Gatti should and Prince Naz defo should regardless IMO - he was a great fighter talent wise and really brought money and attention to the small weightclasses.
Maybe they should divide the hall in terms of impact and actual greatness? I don't know - it seems like every famous fighter will be in the HOF
