Chop chop first came to mind
In your eyes who is the quintessential "Gate Keeper"???

Jesus Soto Karass..
Berto..
Pretty much every middleweight not named Quillin, GGG, and Martinez.
Perro to a certain degree...
a gatekeeper to me is a guy with power that will trade, but loses to boxers and the best brawlers. But he's good enough at it to separate the cream from the crop when it comes to pure boxers. a gatekeeper that doesn't lose a toe to toe is not a gatekeeper..
Notice berto lost a war, perro, karass... that's what makes them gatekeepers.. they are tough guys but lose in wars and can have boxing clinics put on them.
Berto was the gate to mayweather for a while... now that dubious honor is owned by Guererro...
Don't think Ghost is a gatekeeper? Wait till he loses a war.. and he will. Thurman.. Maidana... Devon... The first two crush him to dust, the latter outboxes him.Comment

Derek Chisora is becoming a perfect gatekeeper at heavyweight. He's beaten the frauds and lost to the legit.Comment

High level gate keeper would be Zab Judah or even Andre Berto could be becoming one. Shane Mosley if he keeps fighting.
Mid level gate keeper would be Sakio Bika, Johonny Gonzalez, Josesito Lopez, Jesus Soto Karass, Delvin Rodriguez, Vic Darchinyan, and I could see Ponce becoming one.
Low level gate keeper would be someone like Alfonso Gomez, Chop Chop Corley, Selcuk Aydin.Last edited by 4Corners; 07-23-2013, 01:32 PM.Comment
