Could a prime Arturo Gatti competed against today's top JWW/WW fighters?

[-Antonio-]

Now Gamboa beats Gatti....You guys are a joke... I'm actually embarrassed you are a fellow Cotto fan.

Gamboa would beat him though. Im talking about 130 Gatti against 130 Gamboa. Gamboa is a midget, but he's the most skilled midget of this era. He would hurt Gatti repeatedly. Remember Gatti lost at 130 3 times.

Crawford was a huge Lightweight like Gatti. Only difference is Gatti and Crawford are world's apart skill wise.

Thanks for the laugh this morning....

I bet you were not even around at the time

Gatti was seen as a threat to Mayweather believe or not. Mayweather was favored, but it was seen as a good fight. Gatti's "size" was seen as a big deal for Mayweather.

Gatti VS Broner would be a hell of a fight.

Guys like Thurman, Crawford, Bradley, Garcia, Brook, Sammy Vasquez and Jesse Vargas would beat him convincingly.

I love Gatti, but

- Terrence Crawford- Beats the hell out of Gatti. Like Floyd did. TKO.
- Adrien Broner- Broner sits in one spot and picks Gatti off on the way in. Late KO or UD Broner.
- Ruslan Provodnikov- Pick em fight.
- Lucas Matthysse- If Lucas goes deep with Gatti its a fight. I question if Lucas heart would hold up if he didnt get Gatti out of there early. Pick em.
- Keith Thurman- Keith beats Gatti up.
- Shawn Porter- Porter beats Gatti up.
- Amir Khan- One sided unless Gatti clips him.
- Tim Bradley- Beats Gatti up.
- Danny Garcia- Knocks Gatti out.

No,, all those guys are much better than gatti...

GattI was never really able to beat true world class caliber fighters..

[Damn Wicked]

Gatti was a fun fighter to watch but I would favour all those fighters to beat him and most of them would destroy him.

I was a big fan of Arturo's but I have to be real. Gatti might have a puncher's chance but it's likely he get's outboxed and steamrolled by most of these guys...or all of these guys.

I loved watching Gatti. Exciting fights, big heart. I never really rated him that much though being truthful.
Most, if not all of those guys beat him i'd say.

Wow I so honestly disagree.. Who have these guys beaten that you think is as good as Gatti... You don't think these guys buckle when Gatti lands a three piece? Do you think any of these guys do better against a prime Oscar? I'd expect him to do that to all the guys mentioned...

Not a Gatti fan at all really but find this strange... How do you guys think a prime Corley matches up? just out of interest

Are they? You've deduced that by watching Gatti vs Floyd/Oscar and Crawford vs Dulorme/Beltran ...

There was a young up coming fighter named Zab Judah who everyone thought was the next big thing... He went 12 with Mickey Ward... Judah's Power>Crawford's Power
