Arturo Gatti vs Vinny Pazienza at 140lbs ...

[Ade L]

I think Gatti wins by KO in the middle rounds of the fight. Gatti's badly cut (again), the ref is on the verge of stopping it (again) but he finds a miracle punch (again) to KO Paz.

Paz would win... Too big and strong for Gatti at 140....also too skilled.. Paz fought up to 168 where he was too thick and bulky. He had a belligerent attitude. He took some fights like Duran, Rosenblatt and Roy Jones personally. He stuck his tongue out at them, gestured at them, and made monkey shines. He fancied himself a showman.

I liked Gatti. I never liked the cocky Paz. One of my favorite fights was Paz vs Roy Jones... I LMAO when I heard it was signed... It’s like Ali not signing to fight Wilt Chamberlain... It's something you don’t do if you want to keep on living... This is the advantage of bigger frame size... Vinny Paz and Roy Jones weighed the same, but distributed on different size frames... Jones fought up to Heavyweight... His bigger fame could handle it... Pazienza fought as a Lightweight with his.

They asked Duran what he thought of Paz fighting Jones and he smiled. The translation came back “He’s an idiot. He’ll get killed.” The fight went longer than I expected. Jones wasn't interested in busting Paz’s ass straight away... He made him look silly first... Paz told his corner “I can’t reach this guy.” I had tears in my eyes. It was freakin’ hilarious.

Two of the toughest guys around. Definitely have to see fight several times. Maybe as good as gatti vs ward fights. Both fighters win one with maybe a draw thrown in.
