[Lorily]

Go back to following minor league whatever Lyle, you condescending prick.

Throw this dipsh it writer fitzimmons' crap off of BoxingScene. What has this guy done in his life that will ever even come close to the way Gatti's presence has effected in the sport and people? This Ahole couldn't sell a ticket for his best trick and he has the credit to write about someone who actually achieved fame and glory? Lyle go write for National Geographic or something outside of sports because you don't deserve the respect of readers if you don't have the respect for our athletes.

If Aturo Gatti is to Barack *****, then Lyle Fitzsimmons is to the Birther Movement.

The Birther Movement tried to discredit Barack ***** from being elected to the Presidency both before and after the election. After Barack was elected to the Presidency, the Birther Movement continued to try and force their evidence down our throats instead of being rational and stopping to congratulate the man.

Lyle Fitzsimmons tried to discredit Arturo Gatti from being elected to the Hall of Fame both before and after the election.

Well put. A pathetic journalist and a POS human being. What satisfaction does this guy get from antagonizing someone passed away?

[New England]

i actually agree with the principal argument in the article. arturo gatti shouldn't be in the hall of fame.


that said, the handbag strap line should get this clown "fired."

I just think Lyle Fitzsimmons is a sore loser and this is his way of pouting. This is what happens when you get too emotionally invested, when you're wrong, you pout.

[vxrandall]

fitzsimmons you are a cun7. gatti was a warrior and (get this) he was FAMOUS!!! its a hall of FAME. not a hall of GLORY. everyone with any boxing nouse knows Gatti's name. can same be said of others?

TIT!

[MrFynest]

He gave Oscar hell when they fought??? PLEASE watch the fight again and show me where! Oscar pummeled him with ease. Gatti does NOT belong in there. He just opened the door for many other non worthy boxers (and better than him) in the near future. Bringing excitement in the ring doesn't throw you in the HOF. Beating the best fighters of your generation does.

[Thread Stealer]

There's more tasteful ways of saying that Gatti doesn't belong in the IBHOF.

Its called Hall of "FAME". Victor Ortiz is more famous than Timothy Bradley and bradley has a better resume.
