If you're talking about recognition for being the blood and guts champion of the world, he is already recognized as such from most fight fans. I think he gets the appreciation and respect he deserves.
Or are you saying he should be recognized more in the mainstream public outside of boxing for everything's he's put into the sport? If that's what you're saying, I can't disagree with you there. The world owes it to themselves to watch his career fights.
You talk an awful lot of sense :coolclick:

Just not really convinced yet. He has some good wins but why the hall?Calzaghe yes .. He has dominated for a long time. Holyfield yes. Klitchkos not yet. Lennox yes. Toney yes. Manny Pac. yes. Hearns is still fighting and that is absolutely yes ANyone I missed?
Haha.. So Calzaghe is definetly in for you, but you have reservations about Mosley and Winky Wright.. That's funny.

I finally saw the gatti-oscar dlh fight. Gatti looked just as bad in that fight as he did against mayweather. He just can't seem to land punches on the faster elite fighters. No offence whatsoever.
Re: Why Doen't Gatti Get the Respect He Deserves???
Mayweather called him a 'C' class club fighter and then made him look like one.
Gatti's big problem is against guys who can box he ends up using his face as his first form of defence.
He has wonderful heart and he loves going toe to toe.
Not a great, and never will be a great.
Will be remembered for a great truilogy of fights against another above average fighter.
Gatti is very overrated by sentimental boxing fans.
