What are you thoughts? Again,the source is boxingtalk.com, in the intervie with Gary Shaw. I'm glad to hear Corrales is going to 147,he would struggle to hard at 140. He also has a new trainer so hopefully,he'll improve his outside game,carry his power and carry on KTFO opponents!
Corrales-Gatti would obviously be a great fight, but I hope it doesn't happen. Gatti really needs to retire. He has absorbed enormous amounts of punishment and is on borrowed time. Gatti should either fight an easy fight and walk away with a win, or just retire now. Hopefully the latter.
I agree Pea, I've said it so many times, Gatti should sit back and enjoy life, safe in the knowledge he is one of the most exciting fighters ever to lace up a glove. Chico at 147 is exciting, like it was for Cotto, the ability to actually train for fighting rather than to beat the scales could give Diego a new lease of life. Either that, or we'll see him getting flattened.
when i put my sensibble head on i think that the fight shouldnt happen and gatti should officially call it a day. but when the boxing fan head goes back on i would love to see a fight between gatti and diego. it seems like a potential tear up classic
I don't really care for either fighter...for safety's sake...Gatti needs to avoid Corrales...or better yet...retire altogether!
A few years back Gatti might of had a chance in this.
Chico will knock him out and put him into retirement.

If Chico was seriously considering moving up to 147 to better his career then fighting Gatti is the wrong move.
Fighting Williams.... That that would be brilliant!!
corales v williams would be a good fight, maybe he would want a tune up fight at 147 first though...
Ah yeah, of course.Quote:

He had a really good career Boarwalk will always be his home and us the boxing fans will always be thankful for all of his fights. Hes our 'Guts & Glory Warrior' I mean from his fight against Richard Salazar, Tracy Patterson, Wilso Rodruguez, Calvin Groove. The unforgetable Ruelas TKO, Angel Manfredy, Ivan Robinson, The combo he put on Gamache, ODLH. One of the best Trilogies ever against Ward...... The sick ass hook he landed on Dorin... :oQuote:

I don't want to see Arturo back in the ring and I would liked to have seen Chico at 140
I think Gatti -vs- Corrales would be a terrific fight.
Gatti needs fresh hands. if he fight with those pillow gloves he is fucked ! Gatti is a puncher, take that way from him and he is done.

have to disagree with those of you,who say he should retire...I don't think that one
more fight(after so many wars) will be any difference to Gatti...And it will be(most,
most probably) his last fight,since he considered(for the first time...) retiring after
losing to Baldomir...
If this fight against Corrales really happens,then it will be like a big leaving present
from Gatti to boxing(and me ;D)...
So I just wanne say...:"Do it on more time Gatti...!!!...And thanks alot...."
I turned out a fool for picking Gatti over Baldomir. What would I be if I picked him to beat Carrales?
When your face starts to melt of your skull from absorbing too many power shots it's time to retire.
to be fair gatti didn't look that bad against baldomir. there was glimmers of the old gatti and he did have some success. but baldomir was just to big for him and the shots bounced off him
I honestly don't see Gatti fighting a world class opponent and winning anymore....His body is tired and should get out while he is ahead....he will be remember as a warrior...but if he keeps fighting he will be known as 1 time lucky fighter that couldn't beat the top fighters of his day...Quote:

Gatti was having big problems with the hands his last few fights. Arturo is the kind of fighter that if he can't commend that respect with his punch because of injury, he will just get knocked out himself Gatti don't have the footwork or the youth to be able to win otherwise.
