    Gatti vs Diego Corrales or Gatti vs Jose Luis Castillo would have been wars too.
    Good shout on those 2 fights!

    Gatti probably loses all these unfortunately.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah Hatton Gatti woulda been some type of war with Gatti being knocked down by Hatton body shots..then rising and out of nowhere popping Hattons head back with desperation shots. Interesting fight and not as conclusive for Hatton as Im sure most would have you believe

    Tszyu would of inflicted a real beat down on gatti but as already said against the other two he had a chance of scoring an upset

    I dunno know. I think you guys are waay overrating a Mitchell who could be very wide, eratic and switch to saftey mode when he thought he was far out. Dude's been brought to war, cut up and hurt by far less punchers then a Gatti at weight.

    Agree about Mitchell. He was a good boxer, but inconsistent and certainly not a power puncher.

    Never thought Sharmba Mitchell was anything special, he was KO'ed by guys like Leavander Johnson, a green Stevie Johnston. And even in his title reign, he never beat anyone special. And had trouble vs guys Reggie Green a Micky Ward victim. Im pretty certain Arturo Gatti would stop Sharmba Mitchell.

    He had a punchers chance vs Zab Judah, but Zab Judah would be the favourite in this one. As for Kostya Tszyu i think he's precision and timing would be too much, and i see him stopping Arturo Gatti late on.

    Gatti would get hammered by Tszyu, easy KO for Kostya IMO.

    Sharmba is a toss up, Gatti was a decent boxer and though Mitchell boxed well too Gatti had power and could grind it out too.

    Zab had the skill to beat anyone at 140, but he didn't have the drive, desire, or heart of an Arturo Gatti. Gatti would be over matched but he could pull off the upset because Zab could phone it in from time to time. Toss up IMO.

    VS Corrales, Castillo, or Hatton I think Gatti would have had better chances because he'd be bigger and those guys would be more apt to be drawn into a war.

    Kind of surprised people think Gatti would be so live in these fights, I can't imagine him beating any of the three.Sharmba Mitchell, if he had a bad night, maaaaybe Judah though? He would've put a really bad ass whipping on Gatti and likely never even slipped up or taken any big shots, he was capable of doing Gatti almost as badly as Floyd did by that point. Tszyu wouldn't have had an easy nights work or anything I don't think but certainly Gatti didn't have enough to actually beat him.. Kostya didn't like pressure fighters, but it's not as if simply brawling was the answer to beat him, Gatti didn't have anywhere near the chin or finesse to actually impose himself if they had fought.. People like to make it out as though Tszyu couldn't deal with brawlers because he lost to Vince Phillips; who was actually a very good fighter with skills. Gatti wouldn't have had a chance in hell against that Phillips either imo.
