Can someone explain to me why the Hell Gatti is in the hall of Fame?

Bingo! The same mental midgets that give writers like Gabe Montoya a BWAA membership are the same idiots who setup the HOF.

 

Following your logic, a reciever like David Tyree should be in the pro football HOF because he was part of an epic super bowl and made one of the most memorable catches in NFL history.

In short, NO....thats why the boxing HOF is littered with tool boxes and the same can't be said for most other major sport HOFs. Just my 2 cents

 

Not too hard when your cutting 20 lbs to make a division. :roll:

 

I can name TONS of pro football players who have yet to get into the HOF and they had HOF talent. It's how it is when the HOF of the sport is actually selective in who they allow in. With boxing, you likely just have to slip a 100 dollars to someone in one of the sanctioning bodies or to the HOF itself.

 

maybe you're to limited to understand the analogy, but the argument was that FAME gets you into the boxing HOF. That's not the way it works in every other major sport, only boxing. Tyree is famous because of that catch and there is no way in hell he would get into the HOF. Never mind that he essentially almost won the SB with that catch.

 

really?! So who cuts 20 lbs at 147 or lower? Go ahead and go back a few years.

 

I didn't say he didn't deserve to be in THIS boxing HOF. He clearly does because their criteria for getting in is reprehensible, just like most of shady **** that has gone on in this sport for years. Boxing is the wild wild west of all major sports and the inclusion of mediocre talent into it's HOF is only a reflection of the sport's state itself.

On a side note, perhaps you should work on your grammatical skills and maybe one day you can make it into the "I graduated HS" HOF. atsch

 

If you can't appreciate gatti then you should probably stop watching boxing.Love the sweet science but there's enough room in the H.O.F. for warriors who captivated the sport like gatti.

 

Same people that justify it are the same ones that will argue against someone like Zab Judah getting in...though head to head it's a huge, huge mismatch.
