If he retired before the Damgaard (Sp) fight I think he would have done well to concrete his status as an ironchinned warrior. As it stands now the Mayweather and Baldomir fights and most likely the Gomez fight will distort our memories of him.

The difference between Gatti and Morales is that Gatti was never great. From the height of Gatti's career there is no time for redemption before hitting rock bottom.
