im not giving them a pass but alot of them fighters from the 20s-50s were the best fighters of there era and where from a era of boxing where nikkkas were fighting every week and shyt. sport has changed since then.

but from this ERA, within the last 20 years, there are alot other people who deserve to be in there instead of him. i repsect him for having the wars and bringing the excitement to fans but when u look at his body of work, i can't vote him.

i was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago about should judah and casamayor get into the hall. with gatti getting in, this definitely opens the door alot of guys.

4 time world champion (2 division champ)
former undisputed champion at 147

biggest wins
corley
matthyssee
spinks
pineda
witter

key losses
floyd
cotto
tszyu

no big names on his resume but his resume shyts all over gatti. i dont think he should get in but gatti getting in defintely opens the door for zab. thats all im saying. he can beat garcia, that would make him a 5x world champ.

its not like gatti was a bum..dude was an extremely popular fighter, won titles in 2 divisions, and had mutliple fights of the year..sometimes thats enough i guess :manny:
He wasnt a bum per se, but extremely overrated.

Dude was a human punching bag. He only won if the guy in front of him stayed there and traded punches. His 2 biggest wins were over Tracy Harris Patterson & Mickey Ward, and neither of them were great fighters.

When he fought better competition, (DLH, Mayweather, Baldomir) he lost and lost badly.

Gatti should be nowhere near the HOF.

Skip Bayless dont know shyt about boxing. I dont even pay him no mind when they talk boxing on First Take.

But :what: at Arturo Gatti getting into the Hall Of Fame. C'mon son if he was still alive he would not have made it in. His best win was Micky Ward for fukking crying out loud. shyt Devon Alexander has a better resume than Micky Ward and Devon aint nowhere near being a Hall Of Famer
