I would like to see Arturo Gatti make it into the hall of Fame one day. Any common civilian who has ever seen Gatti fight has probably witnessed Gatti coming from behind, with one eye hanging out of its socket, to win a dramatic bout. The guy is known outside of the bixng circles for fighting with everything that he has under what ever circumstances he may find himself in.
People tend to rip on Gatti abit because he resorted to free wheeling tactics that produced wars. The guy can box, very well. At a national my coach told me to watch this kid, he pointed to the ring where Gatti was entering and we sat and watched him. He has an amatuer background with good boxing skills. He just knows that people love to pay to money to watch a bloody war.
Gattis over all skills alone would not warrant a trip to Conastoga, but fights are not won on skill alone. There is this ingredient called heart. Without it, you will do little. But with it you will carry yourself so much further as Gatti did. So many fighters would have called it quits in situations that Gatti would then just be beginning to fight. Thats heart man! And there is no greater heart than the one that beat inside of Arturo Gattis chest every time that he ever stepped into the ring. A heart that belongs, at some time, stepping into the hall.
Rockin'
