    Yes. Gatti will be remebered as one of the most entertaining fighters of all time. He was not the biggest talent, but he is a legend. Thats more worth than 1000 belts.

    I say no cause he wasnt even close of being called a great fighter. When he step up vs great fighters like oscar and floyd? He easily got destroyed badly. Gatti best win is against ward in the 2 of the 3 fight wars. Too me being in the boxing hof a fighter has to be a great fighter and i'm sorry like i said before gatti wasnt close of being called a great fighter.
