HOF = great fighters not bums like Gatti!

[ferocity]

Gatti beat a natural "ring" ranked welter for his title....KO'd him, dummy.....thats why.

The "ring" title lol, the ring is a ****en joke!

Ring Magazine uses the IBF, WBC and WBA rankings, as their decicions to make their rankings.

hmmm was Tarver recognized as the undisputed "champ" at light heavy before Hopkins beat him? YES..did he have any title from any of the sactioning bodies when they fought? NO....HE HAD THE "RING" CHAMPIONSHIP. dummy

I didn't even know which title he had. But he was recognized at the legit Champion but not because of the ring magazine, dummy.

gatti beat a number of top contenders you guys just refuse to acwknowlage them...

Beating a few guys ranked high by some corrupt organization does not prove anything. Name a great fighter who Gatti gave a competitive fight with! You can't because limited Gatti always gets blown out whenever they dare put him in with a top flight fighter!

i hate gatti but im not about to say the man dosnt belong in hall of fame

he gave us the ward trilogy ... many many MANY highlightreel ko's plus 2 title belts to boot

the guys an over achiever !

You are an idiot! According to you I can challenge Woody Allen and if its a great trilogy I belong in the hall. The fact that me and Woody Allen are mediocre fighters does not play into it right? Ward is a total piece of ****. A washed up piece of **** who gave Gatti 3 tough fights. So what? Do that against a great fighter if you want to be considered great! Two bums giving a competitive fight is still a BUM FIGHT! Fighting bumfights does not get you into the hall. Let Gatti beat a Shane Mosley, Oscar or Floyd or actually make it the to end of the 12th without getting Koed. That will never happen because Gatti never belonged in the ring with those great fighters!

[quake]

He dug up a bunch of foreign (white) stiffs to pad his record.

But next time you are tonguing Gatti's taint, consider HOW did he find Damgaard and Branco - guys we had never heard of.

Lol. That is the only reason he does not have 5 more losses in the last few years.

adding gatti to the HOF is like inducting rex chapman to the NBA HOF. the best explanation gatti fans can give is "because he was exciting". vinny maddalone has fought some exciting fights, is he first ballot too?
