    I don't know if this has been done before, but these two are among my favorite fighters. Gatti I believe is the naturally bigger man, not by much though, but Haugan could be just a bit stronger physically.

    meeting at in & around 140 which is where their at anyway, give or take a few pounds who do you have.

    my first thought is the tough Gatti who can also box nice at times, he could point up, but equally the box/fighter Haugan, who is probably stronger would force a fight and could pull it off also... I'm split and back & forth here.

    forget Gatti - Ward, who you got Gatti vs Haugan?

    Best vs. best Haugen is easily the better boxer.

    At 140 both were past their best, Haugen more so.

    Hulk Haugen vs Andre The Gatti would be a classic

    yes but to meet nicely 140 would be the weight and neither of them were beyond it at this weight, one being slightly the bigger lad, in & around 140 would have been a nice catch weight even in their respected primes...

    I still don't know for sure.

    The perpetually underrated Greg Haugen was a much better fighter than Gatti. He would have won a 15 round decision easily.

    Haugen with ease.
