What if Arturo Gatti had fought one of the big 3 at 140 ?

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.
