I'm trying to think of an American fighter in recent history that could put more fans in the seats than Gatti.

Like I said. He carried the sport. He was treated like royalty by HBO and fans everywhere.
In 30 years, he will be talked about more than DLH and Mayweather. He deserves a special place for his unparalleled warrior spirit alone.

Matthew Saad Mohammed who was a "Gatti before Gatti." And that is the ultimate compliment for Gatti most likely. |

No.
If Arturo Gatti is HOF worthy then Michael Katsidis must be. |

No way Katsidis brought fans to the sport like Gatti did.
Point in fact, the Gatti - Ward trilogy is absolutely legendary in Boxing. |

HOF is based on wins. Not excitement. |

I don't necessarily agree here. Reason being is that Gatti brought something special to the sport, years from now people will know the heart Gatti had, and the afformentioned Gatti-Ward trilogy is actual boxing history, you cannot have a trilogy debate that doesn't include that. Years from now people on saddoboxing will remember Katsidis, but not many others. I don't agree that the HOF is based on wins at all. More so guys that did something special for the sport, and Gatti fits that bill. | |
