Tribute to Gatti Ward Trilogy

[Easy-E]

Corrales more skilled than Gatti? That's a close one.

not really...

[DUPLICITY]

good but not great.......a normal Journeyman does not beat other champions.

People like Reggie Strickland and others like him are journeymen, Arturo is top 5 in the world you ******.

And Gatti didn't beat Champions either!! Gatti beat a bunch of nobodies... as I have proven. The fighter makes the belt. The belt doesn't make the fighter. Boxing 101.


BTW, when your argument breaks down, always go the "you ******" route. That is classic.

Gatti vs Corrales in May at 140 or 142 catch. Where is your money going?

True: you can send a left hook via third class mail and it will hurt Diego.

[Dirt E Gomez]

1) Castillo and Corrales are BOTH FAR more skilled fighters than Gatti.

2) I smell a back-pedal...

Hah, that's all you could come up with from my whole post?

Castillo and Corrales' skill sets are better than they showed during that fight, but that's not what matters. I'm sure if you have Gatti and Ward show you all the jabs, short lefts, latteral movement, and general ring knowledge but that's not how they always fight. You named Castillo/Corrales as a high skilled fight... the fighters possessed the skills but didn't use them... therefore it wasn't a skilled fight. I smell ******.

[BLOODSHED]

Gatti has a GREAT chin. Diego doesn't.

Both can hit extremely hard.

Neither has a defense.

Sounds pretty similar to me.

deigo is a boxer puncher
gatti is a brawler

Jmc..get An Education.

some ppl on this board seem to know nothing about boxing. if he can name to guys with the heart and determination of gatti and ward id b suprised

these 2 fighters relly show wat the sport of boxing is all about, and any1 who disrespects them doesnt no ****

JM,

In all your illiteracy, you didn't say how "suprised" you were when I named Corrales who kept getting off the deck to pursue Floyd..and kept eating sharp counters. But was DETERMINED. Or round 10 of Castillo-Corrales 1 ...which speaks for itself.

Or when Morales had nothing left against Pac. Manny Steward commented in the THIRD round that Erik's legs looked weak. And EM gutted up and did his best and ended up getting knocked out. AGAINST A BUZZSAW.

Or Marquez who swallowed a ton of blood and got off the canvas three times in the first to earn (?) a draw.

Or Frazier who walked forward on a taller, quicker man to do his damage...eating punches the whole time.

Or Leonard who was getting beat and KNEW he needed a knockout (beyond today's twelve rounds). Dundee screaming to him in the corner: "you're blowing it , son!!".

THOSE ARE THE PERFORMANCES ETCHED IN MY HEART AND MIND. Not two average fighters who just CAN'T get out of each other's way.

Or when Gatti was getting blazed by a much smaller man and he stopped throwing punches and just cowered starting from round 2. And then quit on his stool.

JMC: You can't even write, how can you know anything about the sport? You write like my third grade goddaughter.

Gatti vs Corrales in May at 140 or 142 catch. Where is your money going?

True: you can send a left hook via third class mail and it will hurt Diego.

This would be painful for me to watch: my favorite fighter (Corrales) vs. my #3 guy (Gatti). Corrales is the much better fighter with wins over Castillo, Casamayor, Freitas, Manfredy (who destroyed Gatti), Gainer, and a handful of other good fighters. Gatti is a warrior, but even at a catch weight, Diego would probably beat him by a wide margin. Their only common opponents as far as I can recall are Manfredy (see above), and Mayweather, to whom both lost badly. Corrales' resume speaks for itself, amd Arturo has no huge victories. Corrales is one the best 10 or 12 fighters in the world, while Gatti's in the lower half of the top 100, in my eyes.

[DIEGO DA HITMAN]

deigo is a boxer puncher
gatti is a brawler
there is a distinct difference

I agree whole-heartedly.

[DUPLICITY]

Diego Corrales:[B] Blew out manfredy,,. beat castillo..beat casamayor,,, beat freitas

Gatti: Blown out BY manfredy... and beat nobody as good as casamayor, castillo or freitas.

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO YOU???
