Arturo Gatti, R.I.P.

What can you say when a legend is struck down. The latest reports say that his wife is a suspect and that he may have been dead for up to 8 hours before his body was discovered or reported. That really doesn't make much of a difference for the moment. When someone passes on you try to remember what legacy that person left behind. In Arturo's case it is easy. All you had to do was watch one of his battles. I think the first time I saw him he was dishing it out with Angel Manfredi. I hadn't seen a match like that since Ali-Frazier. He was incredible and quite the performer. You paid big money to see an event and that is exactly what you saw. It didn't matter whether he would win or lose, his fans loved him and they always will. I am proud to say I was a fan.
