    Just shows your ignorance. An exiting fight for someone who doesn't know about boxing is two guys beating the crap out of each other. Seasoned boxing viewers appreciate the finer points of the sport such as crafty defense and footwork. Which is why I would rather watch Hopkins, Winky or Floyd over Gatti anyday. Only someone who has no clue about boxing would rather watch Gatti.

      Tito,

      They are uneducated in the sport, so they enjoy Toughman contests thinking that those guys are REALLY GOOD.

      They don't understand that the sport is about the COMBINATION of skills, stamina, power, angles, preparation, defense, footwork, etc. The sweet science.

      They just want to see a third-rate bleeder. They glorify Gatti as if he is greatness personified. And I laugh my ass off at that.

      What Gatti does can be found on the undercard of Tuesday Night Fights at VFW halls all across the Midwest.

YOur opinion as just like your ass you ****en clown all they can produce is win thats smells like ass.
          Dude, where did you go to school? Really?

          You are telling me that Oscar Delahoya picked Gatti because of Gatti's name? LOL.

          Oscar had been in the biggest non-heavyweight fight in history. He had fought Pernell, Chavez, Trinidad, Shane, Carr, etc. Oscar was DEFINITIVELY the biggest draw in the sport. For you to say that he needed Gatti is laughable.

            What point is that??? LOL

            I laid the facts down. It is what it is.

            Your hero is a second (third?) rate bleeder.

                  It IS a shame.
