A true blood and guts warrior who always tried to give a great show. With cojones like his, I'm surprised he wasn't bowlegged. I hope he rests well.
i wish someone would take out that brazilian bitch who had him killed.....there was foul play for sure.

The way Mayweather dogged him in their fight tarnished the little respect I had for Gatti as a fighter. That beating made him look like the B class fighter he was and we all knew it.
Floyd was the best of his era ; that means you don't respect any other fighter from his time ??? Pathetic.Quote:

People forget at least with Patterson he showed his boxing chops, it wasn't all just brawling for the homerun bricks.
Yeh at that point and weight he did not belong near the ring with Mayweather but a belt ($$) and 'name' opens doors maybe we shouldn't go thru at times. I've always thought of that one similar to a Jones Jr v Pazienza in a way. But fair is to take account of where a guy's career actually is opposed to where they came up from and accomplished getting there. But Kellerman was right about this one.Quote:
