Clip: Gatti's kd of Branco

[abdiel2k3]

It's up to them? Is that the kind of attitude we should have? Fighters are punching each other in the face for a living, we should protect them at all costs.

exactly
so u probably want them to wear head gear
its not exactly the safest sport
so if theyre willing to risk bodily damage by getting hit by guys that train to hit them
then its up to them
if they decide to drain themselves
its up to them
yes it is my attitude
u may not like it
but thats how it is
and it aint gona change

If fighters should protect themselves so much so that they won't be hurt then maybe they should play chess...

Problem is, Cotto comes in about 17+ pounds overweight at fight time. Not much more I can say except Cotto should be at 154, Hatton at 147, Gatti at 160, Corrales at welterweight etc.

If Gamache wins his case against Gatti I fully expect one of Cotto's opponents in the near future to sue him. It's a blatant form of cheating and it should be stopped. It just buggers me off seeing unfair weight disadvantages ruining the sport i've grown to love.

** What's unfair when all the fighters follow the same rules? 17 lbs is nothing in the history of boxing.

At any rate, the weights may have been tampered with in the Gamache case. If Gatti did indeed weigh the 175lbs claimed, he would also be fat which is a disadvantage for a guy who started as a featherweight. Gatti's highest listed weight has been 149. Gamache fought as high as 157 and would clearly be the heavier fighter if their career weights were averaged. You've buggered yourself over nada.

Well from the clip you can see him take a pretty good left hook by Gatti and still got up so i would say yes, he has a pretty good chin.
