Is Gatti Going into the Boxing Hall of Fame?

[BLOODSHED]

I say yes. Not an "instant" HOFer, but he is too popular for the people to not put him in the HOF.

And he has done a lot for the sport. Likeable guy. Entertaining. Never been in a dull fight.

Let me add; will he and should he are different things.

I think so, and basically for the same reasons. He has a cult following, and has done a lot for the sport. He is not, and never will be, one of the best fighters in the world, but his in-ring dramatics(always a candidate for fight of the year), will probably get him in. If I had a ballot, I'd vote for him. He's a class act, and one of the most exciting fighters in the history of the sport.

Aw don't be a party ******. Here, have a noisemaker and cheer up.

With the way HBO hypes him up I wouldnt be suprised, plus I agree with what the poster of this thread said.

I think he will get in for sure and if he becomes a three division champ by beating Baldomir and becoming the true beltholder at 147, I think its pretty much instant access. In the post-HW days of Bowe, Holyfield, and Lewis with guys like Oscar and Tito fighting less and less and winning less, Gatti has done a lot for the sport and its fans. No he is not the best fighter in the world but he's no clubfighter either

[DiegoFuego]

Definitely should not get in. Popularity does not put you in the Hall of Fame.

[LostGuy]

if non fighters can get in they should let gatti in easy. and he will i think for sure. theyve had worse fighters in too im sure. pipino cuevas made it so gatti should. i put them in about the same category i think.

Perfectly Said, I agree 100%
