    My arguments against Gatti are:

    1. 2 defeats against Ivan Robinson.
    2. Stoppage loss against Manfredy.
    3. Trilogy required to prove better than Micky Ward.

    Gatti did fight with a ton of heart, however, there are plenty of BETTER fighters with just as much heart who are not in. Off the top of my head they are: Corrales, Katsidis, John-John Molina, Marlon Starling, Chris Byrd.

    If you want to get techno about the whole thing, Rocky couldn't carry Larry Holme's jockstrap.

    I have created a file of Phelps laughing on my USB, I close my eyes and play it on repeat when I carry out my meditation sessions.

    I agree, I don't really want to see the fight, I'd rather it be Usyk. I respect Pulev for how he fought Klitschko, at least he got in the ring and had a real 'go'. He could have been like umpteen challengers who went round after round with Wlad but he came in and tried to KO Klitschko. Due to that, we got an ok fight with a stoppage
    Instead of a 12 round borefest.

    Here is an unpopular opinion, James Buster Douglas beat a prime Mike Tyson, without Kevin Rooney, that one get's everyone's blood boiling.

    - AJ losing to Ruiz was the best thing for his career.
    - Lennox Lewis is the 2nd best HW ever
    - Fury didn't win 10 rounds v Wilder
    - Mayweather lost the first Maidana fight
    - Amir Khan would have stopped Kell Brook
