    i appreciate gatti for all the memorable wars ive been entertained with.

    there's some in the hall of fame that i don't think should be there.but i'm not going use the alibi that since theys in there gatti should be.

    he should retire after the featherfisted baldomir fight.he's been clocked enough.he's already showing the effects.

    i voted no.
    he'll get plenty of regional hof like status backeast.

      There's already a bunch of undeserving fighters in the IBHOF.....I wouldn't be surprised if Gatti is inducted.

        He'll always be remembered, but his name doesn't deserve to go in the books. I can name around 20 fighters that aren't in the HOF yet but are first ballots and if they died tommorrow, they will still be in it.

                mayb, i love gatti, and hes done so much for the sport of boxing by putting out a war every time he steps into the ring, and has the most heart out of any boxer ive ever seen. BUT, on the other hand, he is not a great fighter. he a is a good fighter, a great entewrtainer, and the best warrior, and im not sure whether or not that should put him in the HOF

                  think about it for a second.
                  If Arturo beats Boldimor, then he has beaten the conqueror of Zab Judah.
                  Kosta Tyzu's greatest win was over Zab Judah, so what does that Make Kosta tyzsu?
                  Does it diminish his win?

                    Good point. Until Gatti beats a true great fighter, he won't get in. Wars or not, he got crushed by Manfreddy. Three different weight divisons? If he can win the title, I think he could be in line for a HOF bid. But at 147, I just don't see Gatti doing it. Can he beat Baldomir? I'd like to see the fight. Can he beat Judah? It depends if the basket case can get out of video's, and start being serious about boxing. But at 140-147, there are a couple of names that Gatti doesn't want to even want to mention.

                      First of all, Gatti is NOT the biggest box office draw since Mike Tyson. Where do y'all get this stuff??

                      How many PPV fights has Gatti had? What has been Gatti's biggest purse? As Zab "Stupor" Judah would say: "Get your mind right."

                      I can name you a STRING of fighters who have sold more than Gatti. Ever heard of Oscar? Trinidad? etc.
