            he shouldn't be in, but gatti's loss to ward is probably what got him into the hall of fame.

              Well more like the trilogy I suppose,

              and the fact that he died so young, nobody likes to say it, but that's what it is.

                the trilogy...?

                did you see the second fight?



                the first fight was the true classic. the third fight was sweet as well, but it was nowhere near the level of the first.


                dying young certainly didn't hurt, but there was talk of gatti getting into the hall of fame before his death.

                  I'm sure he would rather be alive than be in the Hall of Fame. I'm pretty disgusted by the undertone you've engaged regarding Gatti. Arturo and Andre Ward were close friends just in case you didn't know.

                    No question the second fight wasn't as good. Obviously the first one was clearly the best, but bloody hell the 3rd fight was good as well. I was watching the 1st fight on a plane to london yesterday, and holy crap - you forget how intense it was.

                    But that's how it is with most trillies to be honest. one of them is usually less good than the others.

                    Yeah I remember. I think his death caused it in the end however, and was like a fitting tribute to him. Even though undeserved.

                      e.g. frazier - ali in thrilla in manilla.

                      that fight did more for fraziers legacy than his wins over fellow hall of fame fighters jimmy ellis and bob foster
                      My question is how the hell is Pacman number 2 on your pfp list??
