Forever Thunder - Remembering Arturo Gatti

[Kel]

Its just sad thats Gatti is gone...I don't think there will ever be again a boxer like Arturo...Katsidis won't be for sure...I mean ...yes Katsidis has heart,but he ain't no Gatti...He was just one of a kind...

He was mate I agree, one of a kind.

First rate stuff Daxx

I remember there was an Larry Merchant interview a few years back and the old man stated with Gatti you didn't know if he was going to get his ass kicked or kicked the other guy's ass or get his ass kicked and then comes back and kick the other's ass. That's what makes Gatti so exciting. He was an drama queen in the ring!

Great article, my favorite quote about Arturo is in the Ruelas fight when the ref stops it, Larry Merchant probably with a huge smile on his face says giggly and astonished almost "Can you belive Aruto Gatti?!?!?!" The pretty much somes it up for me. Seems thats what everyone says after an Arturo fight. There was thread he recently of who was most dangerous when hurt, its this man.

Great article again Daxx, always put out quality posts
