    Thanks Safc.

    I'm going to be honest here, Gatti wasnt a saint he had his vices like all of us but some were bad like the wife beating, but everyone who has met him said he was a top guy. Lets hope God knows this.

    Cheers Losfer, will be wary of this in the future. Only use it for deaths funnily enough and most of the recent ones i've seen have been true unfortunately

    Yeah I think you'd have to be very callous to put a prank on about deaths so that's probably a safe bet.

    Well it looks like if he was murdered, then his wife maybe has got revenge.....bloody nightmare....money, women and drugs - the 3 things that ruin every great person.

    RIP Arturo...thanks for the memories.

    Such a shame, I always liked him when I was younger even if it was for a stupid reason (he had the same birthday as me :p). He had some of the best fights I've seen, now watch all the pricks on the GF who called him a bum go and tell everyone how upset they are.

    RIP Champ and thanks for the memories.

    I think I'll let the Mrs go to bed alone and rewatch his great fights v Rodriguez, v Ruelas and the Ward trilogy as a tribute.

    Unbelieveable.

    I watched Gatti-Ward 1 just today.

    I'm in total shock.

    RIP.

    I hope it is not true, but if it is, it would be another sad loss to boxing.
