Salita says Gatti is a possibility...later

[Mr. Ryan]

Recently, there have been rumors that Lou Dibella has contacted Main Events about pairing together the undefeated New Yorker Dmitriy Salita and Arturo Gatti. Salita just won his last fight last Wednesday, and is 25-0-1.

Salita told me that he wants that fight to happen, but he is going to take another fight at 140 sometime next year, so that fight may have to wait. That may be in Gatti's favor cuz he needs to recover from the Baldomir fight.

It's going to be an interesting scenario, as there are so many variables that factor into this matchup. Is Dmitriy Salita ready for this precipitous stepup in competition? Does Arturo Gatti have anything left? I don't know, but I want to find out.

Jersey City's Gatti, New York City's Dmitriy Salita. Sounds like alot of fun.

i dno who the other guy is but i would love to see gatti fight again

[vB Martin]

I have to question how much of a step up this will be for Salitas. I don't know if Gatti has enough left in the tank to challenge the young bull.

Two things are certain, though.

1. This fight would pack the Garden
2. Gatti would give whatever he has left in this fight

Salita has a website with a video section (6 or more) vs Joey Rios, Rocky Martinez ect

Hell yeah, I would love to see this fight. Salita is exciting, him and Gatti have a thing for making things with their fights, whether to their benefit or detriment. I hope this fight comes off.

It'd be kool if Salita and Santana have a 10 round broadway fight before fighting for a belt, Gattis a good fight, but that'll be better

On the real, that fight makes alot more sense than Gatti. I would love to see this one, but I have all kinds of doubts as to whether the powers that be would allow this one to go down, given their promotional ties to Dibella. I would love to see this fight, it would give us a reason to want to see one of them again on some can't miss stuff.

Either way, I want to see both of those guys in with serious competition soon. I would like to see Salita win a title belt, then come into the Gatti fight an opponent who brings some serious credentials.

i think gatti has a lot more left then u guys are giving him credit for.

The only reason i thought gatti should have retired was because his dream was to get a belt in another division.

The competition is waaaay to strong for that in the welterweight division. He has enought to compete with them, but not win.

Salita is a fine opponent for gatti and id take him winning anyday. even though salita will prolly be my favorite fighter after hatton goes.
