Is Arturo Gatti Hall of Fame worthy ??

[holmcall]

There's really noone even close is there?

Matthew Saad Mohammed who was a "Gatti before Gatti." And that is the ultimate compliment for Gatti most likely.

Well ODLH brings the crowds every fight. So there's one.

BUT Oscar IS A SLAM DUNK. A good argument could be made that if Saad is in, then Gatti should be in. Saad messed up his legacy with abunch of terrible losses at the end when he was shot and should not have been fighting. Gatti only had two of these. (Gomez and Baldami-spelling). I did see hime lose once in Philly to a guy named King Solomon.

That's the point really he made the general public want to back him and want to watch his fights. Plus he had a legendary trilogy, he filled seats and made for exciting fights up until the end of his career. It's not as if 40-9 is bad record.
