    Arturo Gatti was one of those fighters who, when he fought, I didn't need to ask anyone were they going to stay up and watch him. The answer would have always been yes.

    No-one will ever say that Gatti was amongst the finest fighters in the history of the sport but I'm not sure many could name many more exciting or braver than him.

    He gave me so many great memories and I can't believe that he is gone.

    Arturi "thunder" Gatti truely was, as Michael Buffer said "The ultimate blood and guts warrior".

    Just read this on BBC:

    Ward told The Ring: "I'm walking around in a daze. I'm just dazed by it all. You fight a guy, you go to war with them, and there is a respect there. But with me and Arturo, it was greater.
    "There was a real bond between us. It's why hearing this, hearing what happened to Arturo is like a piece of you is gone, because we shared so much of everything in the ring. We were friends, close friends."

    The Ward quote shows how awesome boxing is and how much of a top bloke Ward is. You can stand toe to toe and trade massive punches with a guy for 30 rounds over 3 rounds and still be the best of friends after it.

    Ishy, SAFC, Kos, Chubble and LHL.

    Like I said this is why we love the Sweet Science. Could you ever imagine Dan Henderson saying that if Michael Bisping passed ?

    Did you see the Bisping KO last night? The guy had Bisping out yet still jumped on him and punched him in the face. Then Bisping was unconscious on the floor and Henderson was going crazy celebrating his win and not even checking if Bisping was ok.
