Gatti is my favorite boxer but it is time to hang em up

[TheEvilSaint]

If he wants maybe fight one more fight at 140..vs a scrub to retire iwth a win...

or fight like hatton or cotto then retire at 140

i really dont think hatton could give a **** about gatti after this fight. and i dont think gatti should dive into yet another big fight with cotto after his performance tonight.

[Verstyle]

he's not done. he's jus fought the wrong ppl thats all

[DUPLICITY]

I love Arturo gatti but it is done. the way he fights and his heart is not in boxing today, thats why i was so saddened after his defeat tonight. it really broke my heart, but he can't tale any more punishment, i wish him luck outisde the ring. Forever my favorite tho. The Blood and Guts Warrior Arturo Gatti

Your hero is a second-rate fighter who sold alot of tickets with his fighting style. That fighting style was established in wars with OTHER secnd-rate fighters. A life-and -death trilogy with Micky ward? Micky Ward was dominated by Zab Judah.

I'm glad to see it come to an end for Gatti. Because he was getting HBO dates that should have gone to other more deserving fighters.

Good riddance.

gatti has come back from a retiring loss many many times. but i dont think its a question of whether or not he CAN come back, i dont think he SHOULD come back. make no mistake, i would love to see gatti in the ring again. but i think enough is enough.

arturo, you have nothing left to prove, plz, im begging you: walk away while you can still walk.

I very sadly agree completely

This is why some people hate Gatti and the people who cradle his nuts.

gatti has lost two of his last three fights. Very bad, embarrassing losses. One to a top fighter - no shame. But another vs a guy he was a 2:1 favourite to beat. In fact, Gatti was HUMILIATED in EVERY fight that he tried to step up the level of competition.

Despite the atrocious performances, you STILL want to give him a chance against other top fighters such as Cotto or Hatton. WHAT HAS GATTI DONE TO DESERVE THAT OPPORTUNITY?

Hilarious.

[Dr.Depravity]

I think Gatti should hang em up also. I love the guy but, really there's nowhere for him to go. I dont think he's a natural 147 lb fighter. And he's getting too old to try and fight at 135 or 140. tonight he said how hard it was getting to make weight.

Damn! You guys are such a bunch of ****** losers! You are acting surprised about Gatti losing! Why? We told you he was a bun. Did you not listen? How many beatdowns does this clown has to take before you clowns admit he is nothing but a bum who only produced great fights when paired with other bums? If Gatti movies up in weight and they match him with Tito trinidad you idiots will be saying he can outpunch Tito! Hell you idiots would even pick him over Hopkins!

He got spots on HBO because he's possible the most exciting fighter to ever set foot inside a ring!!! not because of his skill. He got spots on HBO, because everyone wanted to watch his fights. He got spots on HBO, because even the people who hated him, tuned into watch the drama. i bet u watched him everytime he got an HBO... that is, if u like action fights.

Spots going to more deserving fighters?? who deserved it more, that couldnt get a spot the next week??? what are u talking about, i doubt his spots ever collided with anyone who was more deserving than gatti. i dont know whos career uve been following, but there is no fighter or athlete more deserving to be a hero for a kid then arturo gatti!!

Gatti's problem is that he is what he is; a brawler. This guy (Baldomir) will not be beat by a bralwer. He has the chin and the stamina to trade. A slick skill boxer will have to take him out. Someone who can box for 12 rounds and not in short spurts.

Gatti did not jab enough, nor did he ever simply circle away from Baldomir's right hand (ala Spinks vs Kamarzan a few weeks ago). When you are over matched in strength, you fight smart. Gatti can do it, but he only does it for a short minute., then its back to brawling. The last time I saw Gatti jab consistently was against Jese Leja.
