Comments Thread For: Arturo Gatti - Reflecting Back on The Legend of 'Thunder'

[PAC-BOY]

Well Gatti fought like an average fighter in the first and third fights with Ward, but in the 2nd fight he didn't look average to me, he was moving around the ring, using his jab moving his head, throwing fast combinations and he won the fight clearly in a very good fashion, which means that he had the ability and the skills needed to beat a guy like Ward, which makes him just a tiny step above average.

Gatti had some fuss around him cuz he was a former champion and he fought the biggest name at the time Oscar dela Hoya, I don't know if being white had something to do with this trilogy being what it is today, but I remember Rafael Marquez and Israel Vazquez almost killing each others in 4 terrific fights, but nobody mentions these fights today, there was also Barrera Morales, Corrales Castillo, Pacquiao Marquez and the list goes on and on, all these fights don't get the same praise that Gatti Ward got even though there was alot more skills involved in these fights than in Gatti Ward, but u never know.

You want some Cheese with that wine? Deal with it. Gatti Ward made history. 9th round was the best round recorded in Boxing history!!!! You obviously didnt watch the fight!

Go haul ass with your **** talking about Gatti. He had more balls and courage, heart and desire in one finger than any of you *******s who are saying this negative ****. He was human and flawed so what? What boxer isn't? How many boxers are drunk or drug addicts or violent outside the ring? Many many of them so that means what they did in the ring didn't show something special? The greatest boxer who ever lived SRR was a violent womanizing wife beater, and what do you say about that huh? Even the cleanest living boxer today Bhop is an ex con who committed violent crimes in the past. If you don't respect Gatti for the heart and will he showed in the ring then you don't need to be on this site OR be a boxing fan.

I don't know why the **** that **** is allowed by the mods. Its just a ****ing joke. This place is just filled with ****ing idiots,racists and trolls. According to people on here everyone sucks. People on here say Floyd's overrated. Which is ****ing ******ed. Same thing goes for Manny,Ward,GGG,Wlad,Froch,etc

Thats so true bro!

[_Gatti_]

An underrated boxer. People who never put on a pair of gloves in their lives think if youre not on a p4p list then you must be s**t. If you aint top 10 in a division you are a bum.

He could box and he could brawl so you would think that he would be appreciated more than he is. Thats boxing fans for you, never satisfied.

R.I.P Gatti, glad you made it into the HOF, you earned it.

green K.

Most do think that you have to be on the top of some P4P list to be a great fighter. Gatti had a huge fan base because he was exciting to watch. He gave all he had in the ring. He took beatings like a man. Gave beatings like a man too. You have to be a idiot to think Gatti was just an ordinary fighter. This man was in 4 FOTYs. Wars!!!! Fights that will never be forgotten. Ruelas, Robinson, Ward1, and Ward3 !!! With great fighters with great hearts.

Gatti was a woman abuser and a drunk who let some broad kill him while Gatti slept. Gatti wasn't nothing special just a human small punching bag who bled easy and took punishment and absorbed punches till his face caved in. gatti had no defense especially when drunk and got put out by a money grubbing broad.

Judging by how you look in your avi id hate life too! Oh , btw i wish nothing but bad things in you pathetic life!
