bit harsh to suggest one bad performance now completely demotes him to a gatti like underdog career.
To be fair before saturday many of us including myself were touting alfredo for great things and even on the back of a narrow points defeat to a man whos been in with quality opposition there were glimpses of class during the contest when he was able to back up a far rangeier fighter in those later rounds.
I dont see how a guy thats getting beat by kermit cintron can go on to become the world star people had hoped. But theres definitely an odd world title in there surely??
Gatti was a two weight division major belt champion. At 130, he was top tier fighter. For a variety of reason, including his lifestyle, he couldn't make that weight for that long. He has a rough patch in the middle of his career, and he fought longer than he should have. If you only remember the Gatti who fought Oscar, Floyd, Baldy, and Gomez, than you would probably under rate him.
Gatti was much faster than Angulo and had better boxing skills when he chose to use them. He got outclassed against much a much better bigger Oscar and Floyd Mayweather. His last few fights he was shot.
