Aruro Gatti - Who would have he matched up well with ?

[Thread Stealer]

Even though he was never the best technical boxer in his prime he was still an outstanding warrior. Even though he probably wouldent be able to beat any of these fighters- who would he have had the most exciting all out fight with - Pernell Whitaker, Koysta Tysu, Shane Mosely or Antiono Margerito.

He would get destroyed by all of them, but Shane Mosley would be the most entertaining fight.

Mosley is very aggressive and leaves himself open, so that would make for some entertaining action. Margarito's defense is more leaky than Mosley, but he's bigger and I'm thinking about a matchup at 135-140.

Gatti would pair up well with the following:

Ricky Hatton
Diego Corrales
Acelino Frietas
Jose Luis Castillo


He wouldn't win any of those fights but it would be fun to watch

Gud call but gatti win all 3

Corrales would beat Gatti up badly. Gatti of course has the puncher's chance but his punches are so much wider than Chico's were. Corrales threw brilliant combos on the inside, quick hands, crisp combos, short punches that didn't have to travel as far. Gatti bled and swelled a lot at 130 and 135. Gatti had some solid boxing skills, as he showed against Patterson both times, but it wasn't hard to get him to start trading. Corrales would most likely do that when he starts landing some punches.

Castillo is too tough and solid all around for Gatti. Gatti might have a chance against Freitas and Hatton, but I'd make him the underdog in those 2 matchups as well.
