Comments Thread For: Ferrara of 'Entourage' Fame to Play Arturo Gatti in Film

[SouthPawHitman]

No disrespect to Gatti and may his soul rest in peace but the guy was a certified bum. His story is no different from any other struggling b-level pugilist's story.

A 2x world champion is a bum?

You are right Gatti was not A level,but he was a solid B level fighter...He was no bum.

turtle has been typecast.

cant see him in any role other than turtle.

John Leguizamo should be playing Gatti....

I don't know if you're serious or not but I think that would be a ten times better pick than Turtle.

I don't get this, making a film about Gatti, why? No disrespect to Gatti and may his soul rest in peace but the guy was a certified bum. His story is no different from any other struggling b-level pugilist's story. There's not one outstanding accomplishment of note that Gatti has made in boxing but they continue to push this Gatti crap. I ,personally, have nothing against Gatti, didn't know him, but he seems like a good likable guy, someone I could hang out with but the fact is he was a terrible boxer.

Almost everything you said here is total nonsense. What is wrong with you?

Man John Leguizamo is a great shout.

I'd like to see the film before giving my opinion on it.

He fought Floyd doe, automatically becomes a bum.

damn, that's an excellent cast.

Gatti is so way over rated. He doesn't belong in the hall of fame IMO. For those crying about acting talent come on dude we aren't talking about Ali or babe Ruth or Jordan we are talking about Arturo freaking Gatti. Turtle is a huge name to be playing him. I don't see it but I didn't see will smith as Ali and it came out pretty good. Who knows
