HOF = great fighters not bums like Gatti!

[quake]

Some guys are acting like the STYLE of a fighter is the most important thing. WTF? Is this figure skating?

You are too hard hitting with the truth! Lol!

[psychopath]

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!

Well you are worst than an idiot or a moron. You're an imbecille!
Gatti may not belong to the Hall of Fame for all I care but he's definitely not a BUM.

He was a 2 divisional Champ. He has long been out of his prime but that's quite different from being a BUM.

Now stick that into your brain.

the fights with ivan robison were voted 'fights of the year" means they must have been somewhat competitive...jackass

Who the hell was Ivan Robinson? I'll tell you! He was a bum they selected for Gatti to feast on but Gatti being the limited fighter he is went and lost to the bum. Again for you silly boys....having a competitive or exciting fight with a bum is still a bum fight! Period! You should blow out bums! Not engage in wars with them...unless you are a bum also!

I hope we don't have some corrupt people voting this club fighter bum into the hall of fame. Putting him in would greatly dishonor the HOF and cause it to lose major credibility. You put two crack heads to fight and they are evenly matched you will probably get a great fight but are they great fighters? Hell no! You put Gatti in with bums like Micky Ward you get a great fight because they match up with his limited skills well but put him in against the best and his ass will be touching the canvas. Lets never lose sight of the fact that he was nothing more than a punching bag for the best fighters and even some of the bums.

I wonder how he would respond to this. Ice, if you catch this thread...what do you think?

What do you think about all this ? My point was that if he makes it or not I don't care but I do think he will make it SOME DAY.I'm not trying to make Gatti look better then he was because in truth he was never on that top level and nothing can change that.The thing is that there is a very sad lack of respect for a true boxing warrior being shown here. No he was not Da La Hoya or Floyd but he showed more heart gave more of himself then both of them togeather. How many fighters today are trashed for "running" in a fight well Gatti as far as I recall always took pain and came back asking for more. He could have "ran" in that last fight he could have "ran" in any of them but he did what a fighter should do he fought untill he could take no more . If he is a HOF fighter or not does not matter but he should always be respected if not by other fighters then the fans because who else of this era has gave so much of them self every fight, I can think of none .

[SnoopySmurf]

When Gatti was getting his ass handed to him by Mayweather, Gatti NEVER went into survival mode. He tried his damnest to fight back. In all the fights I've seen of his, Gatti has never gone into survival mode where he conceded that he would not win and try to just make out of the fight on his feet. He always preferred to be carried out on his shield.

He may not deserve to be a HOFamer but I think he will be voted in.

[The Troll]

At least Gatti fights, like fighters did in the old days, he entertains. If some of these guys that are so called great fighters now adays stepped back in time they'd probably lose their boxing liscenses for being so boring and driving people away. Plus alot of these guys today dont possess the toughness and mentality to hang with the great fighters from the past. Too many fights today look like ****ing glorified sparring sessions.
