How good was Arturo Gatti really?

Bradley is better than Ivan Robinson, so I dont fancy Arturo's chances.

And why are ppl bringing up the Lejia fight? Lejia was hand picked by HBO to make Gatti look good, cause they knew JJ was long in the tooth.

A prime Lejia woulda schooled Gatti.

 

Gatti was only in one PPV event, where he got his faced smashed in for 5 rounds by Floyd.

 

Yep even though Mayweather demolished him worse then any fighter hes ever fought

 

Yea Mayweather beat a shot Gatti,I remember back in 2000 when Judah was making waves that he wanted to fight Gatti in MSG how do you think that fight would have gone?

 

He was a poor man's Diego Corrales.

 

This.

 

Gatti at his prime was B level just could not get by the best in any division.

 

There styles werent even similar.

 

he ain't no Tszyu........................Judah chops Gatti down quickly, before Gatti would ever get a chance to expose Judah

 

Gatti had good power, a good chin, decent boxing fundamentals (when he wanted to box), and I'd say above average but not great speed.

His weaknesses were he was prone to cuts and he would brawl in spots where it was in his best interest to box. He was also very inconsistent.

A B+ fighter who couldn't beat the elites but was always entertaining and left everything in the ring.

 

Gatti was a C level fighter that just happened to have a heart as big as the lumps that would appear on his face in every fight. What an entertainer.

 

"...We're watching the destruction of an action hero...maybe his case as a hall of famer is overstated, and WAS NOT A GREAT FIGHTER, but a truly a GREAT ACTION FIGHTER and in that way A LEGENDARY FIGHTER..."-Max Kellerman during the 7th round of Gatti vs Gomez

I think what Max said pretty much summarized it all. Gatti wasn't a great fighter but just a real great exciting fighter we all loved to watch.

 

I never said anything about styles..

Im just talking about their level as fighters..

Both of them were blood and guts warriors but Gatti was a notch below him.

 

He should be in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion. No question.

 

he means a warrior with less skills
