Gotta go with Gatti for the Hall....i mean let's look at some of the guys already in there...Charley Burley back in the 40's...toiled away for years as a welterweight/middleweight - NEVER had a title fight; tough, gritty Joey Giardello in the 50's; memorable trilogy of fights with Billy Graham - only one successful title defense. And how about Bobby Chacon? Huge west coast drawing card during his day- exciting fighter; but was stripped of his title after backing out of fight with Hector Camacho on Macho's home turf. Can anybody imagine Gatti pulling something like that? Arturo has been THE most exciting boxer in the sport for 10 years - undefeated in 20 fights since 1998 until he met Baldomir. Defended IBF title 130 lb title three times - these are highlight film finishes. The Ward trilogy, the knockouts of bigger Dorin and Leija....WBC 140lb title, IBA welterweight title. The man who defined "blood and guts warrior".
