A young prime Gatti was a monster. One of my favorite fighters. With that said, Naseem is also one of my favorite fighters. That would have been a good fight to see for sure. RIP Gatti!
@@michaelhill2300 Statistically yes but he’s one of the best FIGHTERS in the world. He isn’t a Floyd Maywhether who’s running laps around the ring, he is willing to go to war each and every time.
@MCastle I always think there was two Floyds when I hear people say that, I mean I saw Ali, Leanord and even Naz run laps oh and let’s not forget RJJ, however Floyd used to move probably the last 10-30 seconds of maybe 2-3 rounds, he mainly controlled centre ring even when he was in there with bigger guys and most of the time got them on the ropes, even the times when he should of tan when he got hurt he planted himself at front of his opponent when most fighters would run ;-)
+tyson byzon I was at the Mayweather fight in AC. Just Gatti standing there taking those shots was Horrific. The whole arena was in tears. I was always a Mayweather fan, but being from Philly, I always liked Gatti, but MAN. That fight was Brutal to watch. The worse beating I ever seen. Buddy McGurt said after the fight, Mayweather, That kid is going to be IMPOSSIBEL TO BEAT. He never seen anyone with the skills Mayweather has.....
@@sugs1191 ibo wbo ibf wbc and lineal champion as well as that he should of had the wba but they stripped vasquaez before fighting hamed. Did I also mention he defended his belt 15 strait times as well as that did you know Barrera was KTFO by junior Jones- A prime undefeated Paul ingle was defeated by hamed in Manchester within 2 bouts Paul Ingle sensationally beat Junior Jones in the US by tko enough said. ALL these 'elite' fighters wanted no part of him in the mid to late 90s. Didnt barrera decline frank warrens multi million dollar offer to fight hamed after he beat tom jhonson??? and juan manuel marquez in 2000 so hamed was forced to fight Vuani Bangu?????
R.i.p Gatti but he would of had no chance. Seeing what Flloyd did to him. Nas would of done the same.only Nas hits harder than Flloyd. Nas in his prime would of destroyed him.
The liver shot he took off micky ward in round 9 in their first fight and the way he fought back, to me is THE best moment in ALL of boxing, it brought me to tears for the heart he showed. He would have walked through hamed, heart of a lion, RIP champ, you will never be forgotten.
Walked through Hamed? Your delusional. Gatti was an entertaining guy who left it all in the ring but Hamed eat come forward brawlers like Gatti in between meals.
I hope that is born another Arturo Gatti, what a warrior, exciting that they were all his fights, vs Rodriguez,Ruelas,Hutchinson,Patterson,Robinson,Ward trilogy, umbeliveble warrior, RIP Arturo!
All these years on and Naz ended up getting a real boxing lesson from Barrera. He was taken back to school big time so what would Arturo have done to him ?, the mind boggles. RIP Arturo, it gave me chills when I watched you fight the great Micky Ward 3 times. God Bless You. Never forgotten.
Arturo was destroyed by Flloyd- who btw is a defensive fighter. Naseem contrary to popular belief actually competed against Barrera - he took 4 of the rounds minimum and bloodied Barrera's nose.
this 2 are great warriors ad they gonna always have place in my heart and i believe in every person who know even a bit about them ! RIP! Total Respect
almost 3 years now and i badly miss you champ, i wish you could've fought eternally, you shocked the world and you will always be my hero. -"Never quit, never surrender"-, i will keep that in my mind!. God bless thunder Gatti, and thanks! :)
All as holes that don't even know anything have balls to abuse a guy that was murdered in another low life country That's disgraceful fellas really a shame and heartless Gatti was a true champ true warrior
He is good in heaven....better than us down hear...he proved his worthiness in the ring...much respect to the warrior..always will be one of my favorites.
As for arturo gatti.. Probably the most exciting fighter in the history of boxing, great heart, bravery, good puncher too. There aren't many fighter you say "there'll never be another...." Ali Tyson Robinson to mention a few, I think gatti is in that list, there'll never be another arturo gatti. Rip thunder gatti
That Kelly/Naz fight was awesome. Prince showed good heart in that fight. 3x Featherweight Champion of the world. Didn't duck anyone (which is the main problem that people have with fighters these days) and went to Vegas to take on Barerra (which was, pretty much, a home fight for Marco). Can't argue with that.
I liked Naseem but Gatti would have bodied him. Prince was flashier, better at dodging punches and probably had better punch power. But you could have hit Gatti in the head with a mallett and he'd have come back at you. Marco Antonio Barrera schooled Nas. If you're gonna drop your hands and try to dance about the ring you'd better have a strong chin because you'll get caught. Nas' career completely fizzled out. Gatti and Barrera were still top draws for years after.
Why people all go on cos naz lost 1 fight? 37 fights and lost 1! That's an incredible record to any one who genuinely knows anything about boxing. He unified all three world titles. Again incredible accomplishment. He was an entertainer and always always bought excitement with his fights which is more than I can say about almost all of the boxers that have stepped into the ring in the last 20 years. Naz was mustard
Samuel Brazil he lost his last fight in humiliating fashion, being exposed for not being a high level boxer, literally cried and ran out of the ring and stadium and never came back to fighting again......... just look at how Gatti came back after that absolute fkn nuclear world war 1 with ward, still went into more wars after his loss and became even better and kept fighting until the body started to give out and the losses started to accumulate... even then he only ever got dominated by PRIME dela Hoya and Mayweather AFTER he was at least five years past his prime...... comparing that to Berrera who exposed Naz straight away, I don't even think the weight difference itself gives Gatti the edge his technical boxing, precision, and on top of movement BALANCE most importantly we saw how Berrera just keeping balanced allowed his stiff shots to knock Prince out of orbit...... looking at the shots Gatti has given out on top of the ones he's taken I think even without the weight difference Gatti beats him 10/10 but that's just me....
Fact is naz never fought top class fighters in their prime.. The best he fought was a over the hill Kelly up till barrea took him apart.. Gatti would have ruined him
you have to love those sky pundits talking up their man Naseem, i liked watching him box but Gatti was tough with talent. a real legend rip Arturo Gatti, sadly missed from the sport and this earth
@Jairzinho121 So your saying being able to say another man is sexy without puking makes you a more secure male?? And wat exactly does "secure with ur sexuality" mean???
I was a big fan of Arturo Gatti. RIP. I think he would have lost to Naseem pretty bad and maybe been KO'd. Gatti was a forward puncher and would also take many shots going in. With Naseem' s awkward fighting style, angle punching, and power, he would've taken out Gatti real fast. IMO, Gatti would've been another Augie Sanchez.
Naseem would have finished k.o in the third round with a left hook of Gatti! If it had been the Gatti with the form it had against Millett it would not have had a chance, zero! But it's just a game, maybe they would have given us a great match!
Naz fought 5 times in USA, an American fighter came to him in England just once!!! You raise some good points and I'll remember him for those things too but also for going over to the USA, telling champion Kevin Kelly he'd give him a job putting his posters up after he beat him, kept him waiting 10 minutes whilst he slowly dance to the ring and then beat him. Nice was wild, didn't even keep his hands up but boy was he a joy to watch compared to most of todays boxers.
Beast who gives a fuck. Gatti was a warrior had heart and put on a show every one was happy to see him the Prince would smack you like a bitch listening to your bullshit 😂 both were great. Just wondering have u ever in your life EVER laced up 🤔😂
spot on your absoloutely correct, even at 35 gatti outboxed baldomir for long periods but that was the first fight i noticed his legs weren't up to it anymore they just went like lead after the 6th round, i'm so gutted he went out on a loss to that bum gomez it was a sad day for boxing, it's weird some people question gattis power he never lost his power after 2000 it was just he was hitting bigger guys..
kayso freeto. I agree with you on the froch vs ward fight ward outclassed froch with just one good hand , but marquez is a superb counterpuncher and. also has ko Power .
Yeah him and Kelly had some great fights, had a pretty good reach for a small guy, foresure a joy to watch and couldn't agree more, there will be only one Naz. I really miss that era. But man, boxing can be disappointing sometimes not seeing the match ups you wanted. I was a big Morales fan and back then was praying those 2 would fight.
@chisacat he fell in love with his power too much,also suffered from 'curse of the gifted' that said,he was one of a kind and gave us pure entertainment while he was at his best
Gatti fights with Mayweather, mickey ward, Oscar de la hoya, and more, Naseem hamed best contrincant was Barrera.. If Arturo alive, Naz would kiss the floor! RIP GATTI
I've watched that fight so many times, (live when I was a little guy too) are you trying to say Naz got lucky? Because to me, punching power won that fight. Naz never really looked hurt, Kelly couldn't get up.
People calling Naz a joke should really listen to the people in boxing. You know, like Emanuel Steward, who said that he is in the top 2/3 P4P power punches he has seen and worked with.
Would've been a great fight- loved watching both guys. Both were outstanding punchers. I'm thinking Gatti may have been a little too big and strong for Naz though. I don't think they would've been able to get it right with the weight class...
He didn't just "call" them out. He actually offered all four of them contracts. It wasn't just talk. The HBO announcers at the time even talked about all the big names turning Hamed down that night before the fight and they said JMM refusing the fight was the biggest suprise.
@jason60152 And he could out brawl you as well... he was a boxer and a brawler... oh and his foot work was spot on too....He just had a way of timing them and sliding away when he needed to and would lure you in and cut the ring off... he was phenomenal ;)
Prince Naseem was the hardest puncher P4P in his time, even now.. He sparred against Heavyweights with no sparring gear whilst training for his big fights, and his sparring partners have all said he punches really hard.. remember this is Prince at 130.. Naseem vs Gatti would of been awesome, both had really good chins (Naz's knockdowns came from balance issues most of the time) and we all know Gatti can take real punishment. I would of favoured Naseem.
@notsoslick7 so norton didnt have the skills to box someone like ali did along with speed and movement and the ability to get out the way there are only a handful of boxers that can do that this stage sort of like a willie pep style skill like mayweather has
Me and millions of others thats the reason why Gatti could earn $millions despite having lost fights and not being a world champion. Promoters put him on shows because they knew that even if the main fight was dull he would give the fans something to remember.
Joseph Fuhrmaneck because he had to lose alot of weight for that fight, we all know if the fight vs barrera happened 1 or 2 years earlier, naz would have knocked him out
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags it's true he had to drop a ton of weight...he probably would have won a rematch but his hands were through...Prince was a much stronger puncher and way faster...dude never lost by KO and has one of the highest KO% of anyone. That's especially impressive for a little guy.
Have you seen Prince’s interview about the fight he did about 10 years after his retirement? I tend to believe why he didn’t do well in that fight but lot’s of people rag on the guy for having a single loss on his record and that to an undisputed legend by decision...
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags ibo wbo ibf wbc and lineal champion as well as that he should of had the wba but they stripped vasquaez before fighting hamed. Did I also mention he defended his belt 15 strait times as well as that did you know Barrera was KTFO by junior Jones- A prime undefeated Paul ingle was defeated by hamed in Manchester within 2 bouts Paul Ingle sensationally beat Junior Jones in the US by tko enough said.

Honestly guys we can't say who would have wrecked who. Often in sports, what should happen doesn't. What You think its a no brainer becomes a unexpected upset. Real vocab!
When gatti mixed it with the pound for pound best, he couldn't hack it. Naseem hamed at 130 pounds would have spanked gatti back to Canada or wherever the fuck he came from. Gatti was entertaining, but he ate 5 shots to land one, and was a bar fighter.
Who knows what that fight would have been like. It kind of reminds me of when Amir khan was favoured against Danny Garcia and Garcia crushed him to the ground. I think it would have been something like that
lets just get this straight ive boxed my whole life, ive watched boxing and studied it my whole life im 35 now, and i can tell you without question gatti would have beat naz within 5, and i was a fan of naz and gatti.

Did I also mention he defended his belt 15 strait times as well as that did you know Barrera was KTFO by junior Jones- A prime undefeated Paul ingle was defeated by hamed in Manchester within 2 bouts Paul Ingle sensationally beat Junior Jones in the US by tko enough said. ALL these 'elite' fighters wanted no part of him in the mid to late 90s. Didnt barrera decline frank warrens multi million dollar offer to fight hamed after he beat tom jhonson??? and juan manuel marquez in 2000 so hamed was forced to fight Vuani Bangu?????
Honestly guys we can't say who would have wrecked who. Often in sports, what should happen doesn't. What You think its a no brainer becomes a unexpected upset. Real vocab!
It was actually 9 minutes i think
Anytime before 2001, I'd have favored Hamed over Gatti at 126.
Gatti vs nas would be like one of the klitchko's vs bernard hopkins, just no chance because of the weight difference.
When gatti mixed it with the pound for pound best, he couldn't hack it. Naseem hamed at 130 pounds would have spanked gatti back to Canada or wherever the fuck he came from.
Gatti was entertaining, but he ate 5 shots to land one, and was a bar fighter.
+Shane Morris lol keep crying
+Shane Morris well your into kinky shit arent you...might wanna tone down getting pounded hard in the back while you you reply to me
Who knows what that fight would have been like. It kind of reminds me of when Amir khan was favoured against Danny Garcia and Garcia crushed him to the ground. I think it would have been something like that
However while Gatti took the five shots the one he landed just might take you out with that left hook
R.I.P
Loved Gatti and Naz, it would've been a great fight.
lets just get this straight ive boxed my whole life, ive watched boxing and studied it my whole life im 35 now, and i can tell you without question gatti would have beat naz within 5, and i was a fan of naz and gatti.
Deluded. Gatti was a Brawler; Hamed was a masterful boxer with devastating power.
