    This is NOT a thread to discuss his death and etc. Now let's discuss things about his career. Where do you rank him in the rankings? Is he a top 10 or 15 in your eyes? DISCUSS

    He was definitely box office. Top 10 and 15 in most heart maybe.

    On an ATG scale, he's somewhere at the bottom of the ladder fixing the bowties of the guys who have ambitions that their resumes will carry them to an ATG list, but never make it.

    Of course he's not. Gatti(Rest in Peace) was a great entertainer, but based on ability he was a one-dimensional plodder with no defense.

    he isnt really in this conversation but I will say that he wasnt just a plodder, he had some decent hand speed and athleticim and showed he could box on occasion, and another thing is that even though he had a lot of heart he didn really use it to maximise himself, sometimes after being tagged he would fly back an get caught out more I dont think he benifed that much from his heart like someone like ward did.
    End of the day he was a super exciting fighter with a decent level of success
