Two final comments:

1.) I'm not even much of a loyal Gatti fan, I just respect him.
2.) The fight went more than 6 rounds. Maybe you should watch it before you belittle his efforts.

Please let me refer you to point number two:

From this very site: "http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=1441"

And I quote, "......at the end of the SIXTH ROUND". Need I go on? I think not.

Always wise to CHECK YOUR FACTS before you arrogantly wade in with your pompous remarks.

"Maybe you should watch it before you belittle his efforts": maybe I have it on DVD, as I believe it an absolutely pure expression of Mayweather's tremendous boxing skills; and conversely, a glaring representation of Gatti's LACK of any boxing skills. It's always a dangerous game to make these strong assumptions about others, and to speak for the masses when they haven't asked you too; it can just serve to display how misplaced your arrogance is. If you would like to borrow my DVD so you can actually know what you're talking about then drop me a line.

Thanks very much for your Hollywood-esque prose about Gatti. I just happen to disagree. Whilst you believe this makes you a more empathatic, "true" boxing fan, even going so far to say this approach makes life that little more worth living (a distinct waft of parmesan enters the room), it in fact just makes you sound like you've watched Rocky a few too many times. Get off your pedestal mate. It appears to be a self-appointed one. And start checking your facts before you make yourself look even more daft. You don't know anything about me, NEVER assume you do. Then you will gradually begin to look a little less silly.

Gatti: average fightr, few decent fights against average opposition, got beaten up a lot by good fighters. Join the list Arturo, it's a LONG one.

Get just a little too romantic and distanced from reality for my liking. Someone should tell it like it is...

Gatti fans should be petitioning for their man to hang up his gloves. He's damaged goods. Mayweather didn't just take him to school, he kept him in afterwards for some extra work. If QUITTING after 6 rounds is a lion's heart then I must be mistaken in my belief of what that means. Champions don't quit. Gatti quit and took the cash in front of his own fans without even putting up a fight. Shameful.

Non-Gatti fans should be petitioning for a fight with Hatton. So Ricky can retire him. From the ability to walk unaided.

Actually Ricky should rematch Callozo..if he had any heart.

Actually Ricky should rematch Callozo..if he had any heart.

I would agree that there would be an argument for a rematch there. But I would take umbrage if you are implying Hatton has no heart. He sent Tszyu back to the new series of "Come Dancing" in Australia after 11 rounds of hell. Plus unlike Gatti, he WON when he stepped up against the best.
