gatti vs malignaggi

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=9937&more=1

dont think its quite official yet despite what the link says but looks like arturo might be going back down to light welter for one more go. i was looking forward to a potential clash with diego corales for gatti because i heard rumors but malignaggi will still make for a good fight. what does everyone reckon???
i am a big fan of gatti and always enjoy his fights and really hope he can do well and not take to much punishment if this fight does happen.

Arrghhh Not a good fight...

I love both arturo and paulie... I dont know how far gone gatti is...

But its dangerous for both guys.. Paulie we know is a light hitter but word is buddy is improving that..

Gatti does still possess power..And if can make the weight he will have a little more i presume..
Plus people act like gatti is just heart..But arturo can box.. Just watch the leija fight

I really couldnt guess whether gatti could get to paulie or whether paulie embarasses and out slicks gatti for the entire fight.. Probably the latter..

I would much rather paulie didnt get defeated ever again and i would like to see arturo leave with a big win..
So theres no winning in this fight for me...

But if im honest i dont think it would come together..

gatti malignaggi is a hard fight for me to pick. gatti is definetly stronger. paulie is slighty faster and has better defense.

gatti corrales. it depends on who lands first.

I hope its in a standard 18 foot ring would be more exciting match. I like Gatti if it is...however in a fast 24-26 foot ring I Like Paulie's chances . O0

Gatti's tough, and will go out on his shield. But Corrales at this point has too much firepower for Gatti, who's obviously seen his better days go by.

Malignaggi would probably outbox Gatti and win on points,but Gatti is still able
to turn a fight with one punch...especially if he goes down to light welter again...

But I'm still hoping for Gatti-Corrales...would be more exciting than Malignaggi...

i've always felt like Paulie's level of opposition has always made his boxing skills look better than what they are. i heard he took a beating in the cotto fight so at least we know he's tough.

Didn't Mayweather just do this to Gatti?

A lot of garbage gets posted on that site. So I wont take there word for it. This fight makes no sense for Gatti. Faglignaggi is the type of fighters Gatti does not need to be fighting at this stage in his career. Faglignaggi is not a big enough name to make this shit worth while for Gatti. Plus all he's going to do is run all night. Gatti don't need to be chasing some young, loud mouthed punk with highlights in hair around ring. He told old for that shit. Gatti shouldn't be fighting any more. But if he is. He needs to face fools that are going to stand right in front of him. Like a Kermit Cintron or Joshua Clottey. I don't think he can beat them at this stage in his career. But at least he's got a shot.

At this point Gatti looses two fights for each one he wins. Or worse...

It's pointless to go on.

i dunno i know gatti has taken a lot of punishment over the years but he definately showed signs of a fighter that wasnt shot in the baldomir fight. except baldy wsa just too big for arturo and everything he threw had no affect and just bounced off him. i think too many people are judging gatti's situation as a fighter on his last two fights against mayweather and baldomir.

True caue even when he was younger he lost ta good amount of fights to fighters lesser than Baldo and PBF. No disrespect to Manfeddy and Robinson, Arturo is not shot hes just hot and cold. He has more trouble with speed and pressure than anything so i think Paulie could give him a lot of trouble

I'd fancy a Paulie decision in this one. Although i wouldnt be surprised if Gatti won via points or stoppage tbh.

Malignaggi isn't Mayweather Jr. but he'll make Gatti look like the tinman of OZ.

If Gatti pops Malignaggi's eye out onto his cheek then he might win. (Something I envisioned Cherry doing last night.) Other then that I give him zero chance.

OK who's corner does Buddy work???

Even though Malignaggi did well against Cotto and was able to stand up to some big shots IMO he can't brawl with Gatti at the Pace Gatti would set to do it...

Actually his last two fights were against Damgaard and Baldomir...But I know what you mean...
Mayweather is just Mayweather and Baldi couldn't get knocked out even if his opponent would
be allowed to use a 2by4 plus the fact that Gatti likes to brawl(and trade) and Baldomir isn't the
right opponent for that...

i knew this would problem would come up sooner or later. buddy trains way to many people.

anyway PBF beat gatti easily Paulie would struggle with gatti.

Would definately be intersting, contrast of styles and and strengths.We know Gatti isnt gettin knocked out by Paulie, but can he box with him? I think hes just a little too slow, and Paulie worships the guy, so I dont think he wants to fight him....but that fight could draw a big audience so $$$$ talks.If the fight did happen at least we wouldnt have to worry about Gatti getting hurt.

Gatti is great, but if Cotto couldn't knock him out I can't see Gatti doing it either. Malignaggi has got a pretty good chin from what I have seen.

Thats a very good point about Malignaggi being a fan of Gatti's. I recall Paulie ringside at the Baldomir fight yelling his head off in support. Im not too sure that this is a fight that will come off.

I wouldnt mind Gatti having one last fight before retiring, but it shouldnt be against any elite fighter...

Yeah
Didn't Paulie just say in a recent interview that he wouldn't fight Gatti because of that very reason?
So I don't know how much I trust this article, but I guess if the money's right, anyone would fight anyone.
Gatti wins this fight if he wants to though.
If he tries to box with him, I think Paulie takes an easy decision.
But if Gatti even remotely presses Paulie, power for power there's no contest inside.
I don't care how many wars Gatti's been in, Paulie's not hurting him and Gatti still has dangerous power.
Gatti if he wants it.

(And another vote from me for Gatti - Corrales instead of this fight.)

Paulio will win this fight i think. I really think he will have a lot in the running of the 140 and he will turn into a really decent name. I think i fight like this would give him the spring into the top 10 for sure and i really fancie him to outwork Gatti. I dont think this fight would do a lot in terms of getting a bigger fight for Gatti imo he could probablly get a shot at a 140 title. It would make a lot of money but i think Gatti should give up boxing, he aint as good as he use to be.

I can see a UD for PM

Going off there last fight, I'd have to say Malignaggi by UD, Arturo looks shot, even his punching power looks as if it has diminished.

This shouldn't even be a discussion. Gatti is completely shot. Plus his hand now breaks every time he gets in the ring. He should have retired immediately after the PBF fight, if not before. To the poster who said Gatti didn't look shot against Baldy, I respectfully disagree.

Every minute Gatti spends in the ring is just that much more brain damage. The guy is killing himself, literally.

Gatti is done.

Honestly you could put Gatti vs....... and that alone would be enough for me to go mortgage my house on the .......without even needing to check who ........ actually was.

Defeat in his final fight is as certain as death and taxes.


If his final fight was Gatti vs the heavybag I'd fancy him to lose on cuts ^-^

There are some new reports that apperantly there is not some bad blood between the two stemming from some comments by Gatti. Looks like he idolizes him no more

fight most likely wont happen cause Malignaggi idolizes Gatti and he has too much respect for him to go 10 to 12 rounds with him, if you watched the Gatti/Baldomir fight Malignaggi was in the crowd and you can tell just from his facial expressions that he was hurt seeing Gatti go down the way he did.
