Awful news.

R.I.P Arturo Gatti.

R.I.P. champ.

[johnty1888]

Been off the site for a while. Who was the other guy that has died ?

Was only recently watching Gatti's fights on you-tube, very sad news

R.I.P Gatti

I think he meant opponents of Floyd Mayweather - so I assume its Diego Corralles

[stujones]

RIP Champ, underated in my opinion. For a small time at Super Feather he looked incredibly hard to beat. He was a real monster at that weight, and was in alot of peoples top 5 P4P bracket.

I would have loved to have seen Gatti vs Tszyu in 2004 - would have been a classic.

Although sadly, what Bennie says turned out to be the case. I always thought he would be actually proping up the bar in 40 years time with Mickey Ward telling everyone about their classic.

I hope to see him put in the Hall of Fame in 3 years time.

I am absolutely gutted and stunned about this news, RIP Gatti.

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

Tragic news.there was a thread on this but it seems to have vanished...

yeah i started one last night and it was merged with one in current scene Who ever did that has to realise most of us dont visit the current scene so bad form on deleting the thread.

Gatti had to be one of the most exciting boxers to watch and the pharse "the human highlight reel" about somes up this great warrior, may he R.I.P :(

how could they do that to ya bigmark.

no such thing would ever happen at doghouse.

[caffrey]

gatti was a great fighter without a doubt.Brave as hell aswell,he beat the dane tomas daamgard with two fractured hands by taking him out in the 11th. v patterson,rodriguez,ruelas,ward,he was in so many entertaining fights.
prime gatti v prime hatton at lightwelter now that would be something.

[Autobarn]

i wonder what gatti got himself mixed up in.

[Deserter]

i wonder what gatti got himself mixed up in.

Early days, but the wife is looking like chief suspect at the moment...

[Nightmare Roy]

Gutted one of my favourite all time fighters, a true warrior, RIP Gatti

[Kilburn]

What a tragic, seemingly violent end for an absolute legend.

I'd hope to see an official, non-cheesy DVD featuring all the ups and downs of Gatti's career. He really did produce some jaw dropping moments in several fights. I'd say Robinson 1 was just about my favourite.

Very sad day.

I remember Bob Mee writing that Gatti-Ruelas was the greatest fight he had ever seen. Ruelas was on the verge of a knockout win when Gatti, typically, pulled a knockout from nowhere.
Gatti, a Canadian, seemingly belonged to every country in the world.

Yeah, reading that his new wife is the suspect.... they were on their honeymoon and their 1-year baby son was asleep in the same apartment.

Next thing we'll read is that he beat her or something i imagine.. i just get the feeling this story is going to be a very deep one when it all unravels.

[Arnie]

R.I.P loved this man gutted

[Mick the Mechanic]

R.I.P loved this man gutted

Just logged on,could'nt agree more.

[ALI]

R.I.P Arturo!

Its a sad, sad day, but it'll be an even sader day if it turns out his wife set this up for whatever end she had to gain.

[banjo]

The last news I heard about Arturo before his death was that he'd been arrested for an alleged assault on a girlfriend(don't know if it was this one or a former partner) but I don't know if anything came about of it, still I'm sure more will come out over the next week. Sad time for boxing at the moment with two of the most popular fighters of recent times dying.

[running man]

this man will always live in our memory, as one of the best fighters to step into a ring.
r.i.p mr arturo gatti

RIP gatti Hope they find the Feckers who did it

i'm surprised at that. there have been wilder, more dramatic slugging matches such as joichiro tatsuyoshi v sirimongkol sinwangcha (around 1998, WBC bantam title) for instance. but it was an excellent fight. i prefered gatti-robinson 1 to gatti-ruelas. there were some startlingly sudden momentum shifts in that one.
