Tszyu v Gatti

Tszyu in 6 or less

I just think Gatti's willingness to trade with a guy as accurate and powerful as Kostya would mean a brutal ending to the fight for him.

 

KT all day, as the Duke said, he would play right into KT's hands... He wouldn't take a backward step

 

Would of been a great fight while it lasted.
Tszyu too good though and he would of stopped Gatti in the middle stages, rounds 6 or 7.
It's a pity it never came off because we'd still be watching the highlight reel today.

 

I know KT gets underrated on the main forum but this fight is not even competitive.......... KT ****'n murders Gatti.

Gatti was a B grader

 

Agree. I love and respect Gatti but he would have been destroyed. It would have been a short yet brutal beatdown!

 

Correct exactly how this fight would go.

 

I cringe at the thought of Gatti potentially being inducted into the IBHOF. He's up for nomination this year. Hopefully the vote goes against him. Involved in great fights, not a great fighter. KT by KO5.

 

KT by brutal KO. That fight would have ended Gatti's career imo.

Funny to mention KT's profile on the general forums. I read somebody say something to the effect:

"gatti was considered by many as a better fighter than Tszyu at the time and that's why he landed the fight with PBF" atsch

The poster was then ripped to shreads for the next 5 or 6 pages :rofl

 

I'm positive this ends with one guy the clear victor.
To think about it in hindsight though, it's a shame it never happened.

 

Another great thread no mention of Them!!

 

Tszyu was inducted last year on his first ballot. The HOF has nothing to do with someones level of fame, otherwise a New York Middleweight named Tony Danza would be in there.

Gatti was involved in great fights, but he was far from a great fighter. Still, it's not like the IBHOF haven't slipped up before... Barry McGuigan, Ingo Johannson etc.

 

No?

There's a Philadelphia heavyweight in the IBHOF who was inducted entirely because of his fame. He never had a pro fight.
