Re: Arturo Gatti Appreciation Thread.
Had to look back.He was a kid there....his 2nd fight.Oh man true to form just came out blazing.Against a guy named Melendez....both took huge hooks for all of 20 seconds or so and then poor melendez takes a hard downward right that left him frozen on the canvas......Gatti had Panama Lewis in his corner..hmm.
Have no doubt Gatti has his wings up their fellas.Love that smile,so happy in there.A permanent void in this sport now

Re: Arturo Gatti Appreciation Thread.
Vic ortiz should have to sit and watch all of his fights before considering the career of a true prize fighter not so much a knock on ortiz as it is huge respect for gatti .......ortiz was just the most recent example of the exact opposite of what gatti was in the ring.

How was his corner man saying "Dont go to war,dont go to war with this man!"
May as well have said "try not breathing for this next round."

Very shocking and totally out the blue.
You cannot help but admire Gatti. He might not have had an elite level skill set, but he had a will and a heart that was beyond any measure. He was a fighter that you just loved to watch fight because you knew he would give it his all and at the least make it entertaining.
A sad, sad loss for boxing. Gatti was a true peoples champion.

Re: Arturo Gatti Appreciation Thread.
Well last night as a true fan after watching the Darchinyan Agbeko travesty I put on Gatti vs Dorin one of my favorites and then the Rodriguez fight.
You will be sadly missed Arturo!!!

Re: Arturo Gatti Appreciation Thread.
Some say boxing is too serious now, and lacks the characters it once had.....
Well Gatti may not go down as one of the great ones, but he made boxing fun for me, and his battles with Ward and in particular (to me) Robinson will live on in my mind.
Unlike many today, he had personality in the ring, and stayed honest to it. Boxing is the toughest game in the world, but I always finished watching a Gatti fight with a smile on my face.

Re: Arturo Gatti Appreciation Thread.
I missed this when I was online yesterday, but what horrible news so soon after Arguello died as well.
True warrior, always gave everything when he stepped through the ropes, even when he was outmatched and victory was unlikely. Never dull, never a quitter.
RIP.
