Gatti does not belong in the Hall of Fame!!!

[ricsan]

I'm getting so tired of people mentioning that Gatti belongs in the Hall of Fame. That statement is an insult to all of the fighters who actually win big time fights and have beaten boxing legends. It's a disgrace to all of the future HOFs like ODLH, Hopkins, PBF, and Pac that he is even mentioned with them. Don't get me wrong, the Gatti-Ward series was as close to classic slugfest as you're ever gonna get and the guy has a ton of heart, but heart shouldn't outweight skill, training, and championships. The guy has lost every fight against a big-time fighter and wasn't even close, and he has lost against regular journeyman too. Let's all remember Gatti as a guy who put his heart on the line every fight, but let's also remember that he was just one cut or so below the rest. There are a ton of fighters with Gatti's heart, it doesn't mean they belong in the HOF.

Apparently this guy knows NOTHING about true Heart in this sport...

I have seen what we call "heart" in some of my fighters....But, I have not seen or had any that would have fought the majority of a fight with a broken hand, Nor, have I ever had a fighter that produced the greatest trilogy in boxing today....

The Hall of Fame is exactly what it is, A "Hall" of "Fame".....And Gatti has all the fame a fighter could ask for...

He belongs there...If Carbahal can get in, Gatti is basically a shoe in....

Name ONE great fight Carbahal ever had

Thats what I thought....

Good luck

Coach

I agree with you ...........Gatti is the "poster boy" for prize fighting, ! but carbijal was a great little fighter also, his wars with Humberto "Chiqita" Gonzalas were classics ! . i wounder if Humberto Gonzalas made it in? that 107lber could fight !

cc i agree......Humberto Gonzalez vs Michael Carbajal their first fight was fight of the year in 93 ......and both were elected into the hall this year.......both deserve to be there......
