Re: Arturo Gatti Found Dead
how did Berbick die , again?...I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment

Re: Arturo Gatti Found Dead
Well, I'm a Jersey guy so I'll give you a little of my Gatti stories. Had a client many years ago who was a boxer, knew him well. Keep in mind this is a guy VERY rough around the edges and I could sense some jealousy. Long story short, trying to be respectful, you never knew where Gatti would be passed out or sleeping, lol.
More recently I have a friend who "dated" Arturo, I got all the stories.... I can tell you this for his fans, when he started training, he would cold turkey stop partying. She found this impressive as his partying was well, prodigious.
So she calls him and puts me on the phone with Gatti as he was interested in golf as well as my friend. We're BS'ing about golf, etc. and he's like trying to get me to put a good word for him to my friend. I told him "I know you two minutes, you're rich and famous and if you're anything like me you're a total whoremaster!!! I'm not even rich and famous and I'm a whoremaster! I felt safe saying this as I was on the phone, you never know with boxers, lol.
She was really trying to get him to save his money and at least buy some investment houses while he had the dough and was still fighting. I tried to stress this as well to him, I hate to see sports guys who entertained me wind up broke.
Oh well, I'll never get to play golf with him now, R.I.P. Arturo.Comment

Re: Arturo Gatti Found Dead
Looks like his wife is being detained right now. Supposedly her story about where she was is falling apart.. Both had been having some problems with each other & supposedly Gatti got drunk Friday & was argumentative with her..

When you look up " Come Back Kid " in the Dictionary you will see a picture of Arturo Gatti. He was heart guts and talent personified!
One of my favorites and will be missed. RIP Arturo...
Other of my favorite Boxers lost recently are Alexis Arguello and Mickey Goodwin...
