Even though he was never the best technical boxer in his prime he was still an outstanding warrior. Even though he probably wouldent be able to beat any of these fighters- who would he have had the most exciting all out fight with - Pernell Whitaker, Koysta Tysu, Shane Mosely or Antiono Margerito.
I think Gatti vs Margarito would be sick I would pay to see that!
Margarito would win.
Win or Lose Gatti is always entertaining to see
peace
Gatti vs:
Hatton
Katsidis
Pryor
Ps... gave your rep back from the other day... I was just breakin balls
Vinny Pazienza vs Arturo Gatti or even against Bobby Chacon
Hatton vs Arturo Gatti great fight
i would have to agree hatton v gatti would be sick broQuote:

Prime Gatti P4P would have done fine against a Hatton or Kats. Pryor's another story. He'd be KOd in the late middle rounds but entertaining as hell. Paz Gatti would be a slugfest to the end with the winner up in the air.
Hatton (pre tszyu) - Gatti would have been very entertaining. Hatton would have battered him imo, but still....

i always wanted to see Gatti/Cotto, especially when Gatti came off his impressive win against the then undefeated Gianluca Branco, and while Cotto had still yet to really prove himself, would have been a good fight IMO
At that point Gatti would have beat him...Quote:

True... true... I'm glad Gatti's gone... Loved watching him fight. Hated his decline but it's part of sports I guess...Quote:

Let's just settle on 'it would have been awesome'
;D
Think cotto would of eaten him if both were at heir best, Kostya too, he was tailor made for Kostya more than anyone. Maybe one with Urkal would have turned into a great war. Correct me if they did fight.. I cant remember.
I'm not sure about that. Branco is nothing special. At the time, 2004, Cotto was already thoroughly beating guys like Pinto, Maussa, Sosa, N'Dou, and he beat Chop-Chop in 2005.Quote:

We're basicly about to see that fight.;)
Arturo Gatti Vs. Edwin Rosario at Lightweight.......hide the children :angryxo4:

I like the idea of Gatti vs Hatton or Katsidis.
I can't believe no one mentioned a fight between Gatti vs Corrales @ 135!!! That is what I'd like to see!
You know whenever I think of Gatti and who he would have made great fights with, I think of Vinny Pazienza first and then Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini.
All those guys are really of the same mentality. I think Paz had the absolute most guts though. With Mancini a close second. Though Mancini was a better fighter than Gatti and Paz, honestly. I mean look at his fight with the Great Alexis Arguello.
Gatti vs. Pazienza or Gatti vs. Mancini would have been an absolute fight to the finish!
Gatti against anyone good.
Whilst not best Gatti a crowd please and i luv him and his muscles
Gatti would pair up well with the following:
Ricky Hatton
Diego Corrales
Acelino Frietas
Jose Luis Castillo
He wouldn't win any of those fights but it would be fun to watch
Gud call but gatti win all 3Quote:

Corrales would beat Gatti up badly. Gatti of course has the puncher's chance but his punches are so much wider than Chico's were. Corrales threw brilliant combos on the inside, quick hands, crisp combos, short punches that didn't have to travel as far. Gatti bled and swelled a lot at 130 and 135. Gatti had some solid boxing skills, as he showed against Patterson both times, but it wasn't hard to get him to start trading. Corrales would most likely do that when he starts landing some punches.Quote:

Some of these matchups are sick.
Gatti against Pryor, Chavez, Tszyu?
Gatti-Augustus would have been a classic
