I'm not even sure if there is a criteria for the HOF now or if ever? I'm honestly not bothered either way. Gatti had his nitch and while he became pigeon holed with the Ward trilogy he was a capable fighter. HOF? again it depends of what we-they gauge by. Skill wise...longevity etc both Sonagi Yuh and Hill far surpassed a Gatti. The contrast in inductees is really something. Frankly both of them were verrrrry localized almost pure boxers in backyards who some fans couldn't pick from a crowd, let alone non fans. Gatti on the otherhand was everywhere it seemed, exposure and network wise and also benefits from being current. All and all I think they got it right and would have a bigger problem with HOF if they excluded guys like Yuh etc rather than include a Gatti..if that makes sense Been a long day I do know Mills Lane got the nod as well and it is awesome seeing that!! That man was a true professional and is very much missed.
