    He was such a relentless warrior. And now it looks like he was murdered.

    Im more pissed than sad about this news. Why the heck are all these celebrities and boxers dying unexpected deaths in such a close time span to another.

    The last fight where I actually shed a tear was the Gomez/Gatti fight, that fight is the true definition of going out on your shield.

    R.I.P Gatti

    Just watched Gatti-Ward III and this quote from Lampley sends shivers down the spine.

    "When they announced the fight here on the Boardwalk, it sold out faster than would any title fight in the sport. The only title they fight for is the memory of their great 3 fights against each other."

    The only way a tribute to this man should be posted...One that showcases the live act and all around PEOPLES CHAMPION that he was.

    Enjoy...Rest in peace Arturo Thunder Gatti!
