    Why the Hell is Gatti in the HOF. But not Benn.Daruiz. and Eubank? Explain

    I admire Gatti and his warrior heart, I have no qualms about him being in the Hall of Fame. But if you are gonna let Gatti in. You best make damn sure you let in Eubank,Daruiz, and Benn.

    I don't feel like I need to explain the achievements of those 3. But rest assure, not only are they of a higher caliber than Gatti but they are of a higher caliber than 99% of all the MW-LHW fighters today.

        I think they should start kicking people out to make room for the Floyd exhibit.

          The majority of voters come from North America?

          Anyhow, I don't begrudge Gatti his place, he deserves it for his contribution to the sport of boxing.

          They should maybe stop calling it an "International" boxing hall of fame though when the choice of inductees are skewed from one angle.

              Because he's popular and made exciting fights.

              There's lots of fighters more worthy of the HOF than Gatti.

                Should Hatton get in?

                  I don't know if that's appropriate for me to answer as I wouldn't be unbiased but I think Prince Naseem contributed enough to the sport and achieved enough, yet he was turned down first time around.

                    If Gatti is in, then yes, Hatton should be in
