    Should Gatti retire after Baldomir?

    Should Gatti retire after the fight with Baldomir? I would love to see Gatti fighting other fighters after fight with Baldomir but he has taken too much punishment in his 15 year pro career. I don't want him to turn out like Meldrick Taylor.

    He wont retire. A Hatton fight would be too tempting for him to walk away from.

      but Gatti has to beat Baldomir first. hatton-gatti will be a great fight if it happens.

      it will be perfect,
      Gatti beat Baldomir for the WBC title, Hatton beat Collazo for the WBA title and they could have a title unification fight. And the winner(Hatton) of that could face PBF (IBF champ) for the U.D. welterweight chanpionship.

      hope this **** happens

          i agree with you there. baldomir is a tough guy, just like gatti. it should be a great action packed fight. i wouldn't mind if i pay $45 to watch this fight if it was on PPV.

          do you think baldy would be favor on the betting odds or gatti?

            Why does anyone want to see Hatton vs Gatti? I think if Gatti beats Baldomir that he should have 1 defense in AC and retire. He should'nt fight Hatton, its a mis-match and takes time away from real fights of Hatton possibly fighting Cotto, Margarito, PBF even Hatton vs Zab would be more interesting and entertaining.

                hatton gatti would be a good fight, closer than alot of people think
                gatti can take a ****load of punishment, and can dish it out, too. they both also have similar styles, it should be interesting

                  Gatti has been in a lot of wars. PBF beat him bad but didnt have the power of these guys and if Gatti can seriously get hurt fighting elites such as Hatton, Cotto, Margarito because they have power.

                  It would probably be exciting for the first round or 2 then all those wars Gatti has been in will show there effect. I dont even doubt the outcome, does any here even doubt the outcome? I would much rather see Hatton vs someone that has a realistic shot and not someone past there prime (who even at his prime was a B-Skill level).

                  Now thinking about it, its pretty funny how people are calling out to see Gatti vs Hatton but ragged on PBF for fighting Gatti I mean the favoritism is overwhelming.

                    Hatton is several classes above Gatti. I really don't think he will get by Baldomir to be honest. Gatti is used to bullying smaller physically weaker men but Baldomir is actually stronger than Gatti is IMO.

                    All Gatti has going for him against Baldomir is a bigger punch and it won't be enough because Baldomir has a great chin. I think Baldomir outworks him and wins a decision.
