We have many great boxers that game from here, some to be proud of (gatti) other not so much (Ouelette). This is a sad way to go for one of the classier boxers to come out of our great town.

RIP great boxer and indeed a legend in his own right RIP

P/s to those reporting the article as something not related to boxing, get your head straight. He was on the cover of EA's well know boxing game in Fight Night.

Always left it all in the ring, he will be missed. First time I saw him was when he fought Gabe Ruelas and came back from being hurt to knock Ruelas out. He didn't always win, but he always made it entertaining. RIP.

It was murder bud. The wife and someone else did it. He was choked to death with her hand bag after being hit in the head with something. Sucks he had to go out that way, he was a soldier.

RIP Aturro gatti, he fought in the two greatest fights ever seen at his weight against Irish Man Mickey Ward - His wife is a suspect, he was murdered on his second honeymoon by a bag strap (strangled to death)

9 - To all my older N4G guys out there.

First Steve McNair, and now Gotti. Some of these women out here are scandalous. Watch you back. If you're doing dirt or mistreating you significant other/girlfriend, watch your back (and front). These chicks are going crazy. If you see some signs of....

Crazy
Deranged
Lack of Self-Esteem

Run!! Do not look back. I don't care how good the ***** is, or how good she looks.

Guys guys guys, He was murdered.
They are blaming his wife, this death was not natural.
He was found with a purse strap on his neck. Read the yahoo article for further info.

The reason I'm a boxing fan is Gatti/Ward I.

Sure, I'd watched boxing before, but that transcended the sport. One of the greatest fights ever caught on tape. If you haven't seen it, make sure to at least check out round 9 on youtube.

RIP Thunder. We don't see heart like that in the ring very often.

Arturo Gatti is dead while Ochoblanko and Brock Lesnar are still alive - there is no justice in this world. Too bad, he was one of the last great italian boxers.

I'm sure there is a place in heaven reserved for Gatti, right between Rocky Marciano and Jake Lamotta

Brock Lesnar has no technique and he is 15 lbs heavier than Mir - FACT!

He only had to fight like 3 people before they named him champ, there are plenty of fighters that have paid there dues and deserve and champ bout, yet they were all overlooked because good ol brocky boy sold more tickets.

And just who did Lesnar fight? Mir and Coture are both over the hill, and Heath Herring was a nobody who filled in at the last sec. Brock lesnar didn't earn his title.

Lets see him try and take on Cheik Congo

3.2 - Brock Lesnar is pretty good, I'll admit that.

And he does have tremendous agility for a big guy, But I agree with Tony Scarboni on how he didn't deserve a shot at the title so soon. Lesnars MMA record stands at 3-1, Come on! After only like 3 fights he was already granted a title shot? Its not because he earned it, its because UFC producers knew it would garner a lot of attention, at it doesn't matter if it was good or bad attention (more than half of the UFC audience hates and boos Lesnar) it all leads to more publicity.

Lesnar did act like a F'n moron on Saturday though. I believe all champions should carry the belt as well as themselves with respect and dignity. If Lesnar is going to act like an a$$hole talking sh*t after the fight and giving fans the bird, it will only all come down on him later in his career. If he wants to be on the mic garnering heat and pissing off the crowd regularly, he needs to go back to the WWE.
