    All beyond the point i was making.Im just saying dont judge a guy by the way he goes out.

    Gatti has done alot for this sport.No question he gets in.

    Gatti is a ****ing LOCK for the HOF

    no he isn't the most elite fighter of an era

    but definately one of the most popular. which makes him a lock in for sure

    i dont think he should. even the least deserving guys in there like ingemar johansson and graziano were linear champs at their respective weight classes, which gatti has never been. though he is probably one of the most courageous guys to ever step in the ring.

    It would actually surprise me if he didn't make it.

    Let's not DISCUSS and say we did. Gatti is an automatic Hall of Famer.

    on a side note, does being in about 3 or 4 fights of the year count for anything towards your criteria?

    Come on lets keep it real people.. Gatti is a glorified club fighter just like Mayweather said before he went and dominated him. You all know the only reason Gatti was as big as he was is because he was white.. Not only white but italian too. If he was a black man you know he would NEVER get the recognition that he got in his career. And this is coming from a white man. Don't get me wrong.. Gatti did have some exciting fights but it was against B and even C level fighters. He should NEVER be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

    In baseball, it's far from all based on stats. Otherwise guys like Phil Rizzuto would have never made it in, and guys like Dick Allen would have been in years ago.

    Just like Floyd Mayweather Sr. said in a recent interview "Gatti should be in the HOF for getting his ass kicked".

    Gatti's career > Floyd Sr.'s career in boxing and narcotics dealing

    That rant by The Predator was brutal, but I couldn't help but laugh.
