Arturo Gatti was a special fighter

[Thread Stealer]

like i said, gatti never spit his mouthpiece

Why is Jerry Quarry on your "retired (or should be)" list?

He's dead.

Wow....

Gatti will probably get in Canastota, but there's a number of fighters who aren't in there that are eligible that I'd like to see in there before Gatti.

Brian Mitchell
Julian Jackson
Esteban Dejesus
Donald Curry
Marlon Starling

To name a few.

And Lloyd Marshall. Marshall defeated eight fighters who were world champs and at least half a dozen guys in the Hall of Fame. He kicked Ezzard Charles's ass.

And he's not in the Hall of Fame.

He was great to watch but had too much balls for his own good. Look at him now, punch drunk and ******ed. I say ******ed because who else will put a pair of shades on sale for 75k? I'm surprised how punch drunk he is, you can barely ****in understand him.

If he could defend himself it wouldnt be so bad. I respect him for having heart an all but he has copped a beating to many times. Whats he goin to be like in 15 years? You all saw what happened to meldrick taylor after he fought chavez in 1990.

If by special you mean horrible, then I agree.

[aRmAgeDDoN]

special at getting his ass beat by pillow punchers!!!

Yeah they should throw him into the HoF, 3 FoTY's is pretty insane and he was probably the most exciting fighter of this generation, do or die.
